Hi I have a Nuvi 3760 GPS. This morning, I don't know why but the display was in Russian language. After resetting the language the screen briefly returned to the start screen (in English) then switched off. As it wouldn't switch on again I tried to re-charge the battery first in car then in wall socket. Still wouldn't switch on. I tried a hard reset but still the screen won't start up. Any one got any ideas? My GPS is about 5 years old.
That sounds like a hardware failure. As a long shot, take the battery out for some time (hours), put it back in and try to start it with a hard reset. If that doesn't work contact Garmin. From what I have heard they will fix it for a fixed fee.
You may be better off buying a new one with life time map updates. (Not that we need them in NZ, where we have free NZOGPS maps.)
Yes I spoke to Garmin support. They do provide service but my unit being 5 years old has passed its lifetime. How do you take the battery out? I would like to backup addresses to transfer to a new GPS
Now that you have identified data on your unit that you want to keep you should back this up. As you have just found out, once your GPS is dead you will not be able to retrieve data from it.
