Guest Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I was geocaching when my PN 40 froze. Now, using multiple sets of different batteries, the PN 40 won't turn on. When I connect it to the computer, I still can't get it to turn on. Any suggestions? The GPS is relatively new...6 months Quote Link to comment
+IBcrashen Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) First thing to try is taking and leaving the batteries out for a few minutes. Edited June 30, 2010 by IBcrashen Quote Link to comment
+Pax42 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 With the batteries removed, hold down the power button for several minutes. If that doesn't help, leave the batteries out of the unit overnight. Quote Link to comment

The GPS is relatively new...6 months This happend to me once when I let the unit with rechargeable Nimah batteries run all the way down. From the Delorme web-site try: Press: Page+ Mark+Enter+Power all at the same time. Release all but the power button. Keep holding the power button for a few seconds. This should cause the unit to go into a "hard reset/power up". Edited July 1, 2010 by jsdad Quote Link to comment
