Tried new batteries, hooked it up to the computer, nithing. Can some one help? Thanks Put in brand new 1.5v alkalines (some rechargables are only 1.2v) and try a "master reset" by simultaneously holding down the "Page, "Enter" and "Find" buttons while powering up. You have to hold all buttons in for about 5 to 7 seconds. It will clear out all saved data and reset the unit to its factory state. If it still won't start-up after that -- then send it back.

+3 Hawks Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I've not experienced this on start-up. The only thing I can think of is that some Vista HCx owners had display problems on start-up and Garmin told them to hold the start button down for 5 seconds or until the start-up "beep" is heard. You could try calling Garmin, but I suspect faulty hardware. I'd send it back if I were your friend. Quote Link to comment
