Need some help please.

Used the rider in the car and then left it in the boot for about a hour. Came home and tried to switch it on - and nothing happens.

Pressed the reset key and its seems to be working ok - however I dont understand why it keeps dying on me - any ideas (running the older software as the newer version would not load ok)

thanks

Could be the battery is beginning to fail?
How long does it run for on a full charge without external power? Does it seem less than it used to be?

thanks for the feedback - the unit is exdisplay which may explain the issues. However considering I got it for a bargain price perhaps I should not moan so much

If you feel it needs looking at, try SatNav Shop Repairs

Have you checked to see if it's charging properly?

Thanks for all the information chaps. I am going to play with the unit today to make sure it is all working OK.

The unit seems to charge ok as the battery shows full. I have uploaded the new version 6 and I did mess around a lot the night before with different cards as I kept getting the card error.
