Hello Kathy,
It might not help but some electronic things can be reset by just leaving
the battery out for a while or overnight or several days. It can't
hurt.

Hi all, I was trying the other day to re-charge my Garmin GPS and discovered it is not working properly!  I had wondered why the battery had run low as I know I turned it off last use, and usually not problem recharging it.
 
But now however, it turns itself on, won't turn off and I can't control it.  It will recharge if I plug it in but as soon as I unplug it it turns itself on and I can't shut it off!
 
It seems to have developed a mind of it's own!  I have no idea what in the world has happened. Only thing different is that I hadn't used it in a few months. It was working then, never been wet or dropped, etc.
 
I wanted go let my daughter use it so I could teach her pacing w/her mare so she could learn how to "feel" different pace speeds.
 
Any thoughts or suggestions out there from any of you capable hi-tech experts?
 
I loved my GPS and it was very useful.  Geez, my HR monitor doesn't work and now my GPS.  Good thing my horse does! :)
 
Thank you,
kathie
 
ps..I looked thru the manual and there is nothing about repair, rebooting the system that I could find.  Nothing. :(((
