+capjap Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 My son just got a yellow etrex and has used it twice. This morning it would not turn on at all. I checked his batteries and they were fine...they worked in my unit and showed nearly fully charged. Tried different batteries, and still no luck. Checked the terminals and they seem to be making good contact. Any other ideas or fixes? Quote Link to comment
Neo_Geo Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 (edited) You could try a MASTER RESET Warning: The Master Reset sequence will delete all routes, user waypoints, and tracks from memory With power off, press and hold FIND, PAGE and Click Stick, and then press POWER. Release all four buttons after 5-10 seconds when the welcome page is displayed All memory is now clear. Place the unit outside with a clear view of the sky until satellites are acquired (The unit will display "3D GPS Location.") EDIT The above instructions are for units with a Click-Stick. The button combination for units without a Click-Stick is as follows: UP+PAGE+ENTER+ON (Must be held for 5 seconds) If that doesn't work, call Garmin Technical Support - Monday — Friday - 8:00 a.m. — 5:00 p.m. CST - (closed holidays) - 1-800-800-1020 - or - - (913) 397-8200 Edited August 5, 2004 by Neo_Geo Quote Link to comment
+capjap Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 Thanks..that did the trick. Now I just need to figure out why it wouldn't go on in the first place. Quote Link to comment
