x-GiGgLeS-x Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 someone please help me before I end up throwing the stupid thing out of the window. My sat nav for some reason will not turn on at all. We have had it on charge also. When we plug it in to the car charger or mains it turns on and says 'loading maps' but then switches off again. Any advice please?

Baz1 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 There should be an over ride button on it- it may require a pin to prod it once or hold for few seconds. My TomTom had a similar problem once and I'm guessing the systems are similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leah-Lacie Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 No little tiny reset type button? Hard to see, has to be pricked with a pin or other small thin object as above x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
