Hi I've got a Navman PiN 570 GPS (I think the PDA is a Samsung) which I have not used for nearly 2 yrs.  Problem is that the battery seems to have run flat and no matter how long I leave it plug in won't recharge.  Any suggestions?

Most likely. But...

Have you tried removing the battery for ten minutes and then charging from a wall charger (not a USB charger)?

Can't see an easy way to take the battery out as it is an internal one. I'm trying to charge it from the wall charger so not sure what next. Probably a call to the Navman helpdesk (ever so helpfull).
