hiya all, every time i turn on the ignition my 700 light comes on. then thats it,, i have to press the button on the go in, then it boots up with the drums and red hands. it then takes about 3 mins to get a sat lock. now when i turn of the ignition,, it shuts down. so when i turn ignition back on it does it all again. can someone tell me whats going on. i am on v 6.520 many thanks.

Sounds like the battery has died. Will it run on its battery at all?

hiya darren, i have just had it on charge at the mains for the last 3 hours.
just pulled the cable from out of the 700 and it went off. i have just tried to turn it on without any leads and it will not come on at all. thanks.

Then the rechargeable internal battery has died. It can be replaced but it may not be economic?

Pull their arm off!! - that's cheap to get an excellent device back up and running - cost you nearly 10 times as much to get a new equivalent and it won't be as good as the 700.
