    the charger fell apart on my gps 530 only 4 months old.. i bought a decent charger but it worked for a few hours now when i try to plug it in it turns white i'm not sure what the little black circular box is on the charger cord. But the one i bought doesn't have it i'm guessing that's why it not working right. Asked someone if i could use there's for a sec to make sure i didn't fry my gps and then it turns on works fine but i try the other cord the screen turns white again ... anyways ive had a dashcam cords fall apart after 6 weeks.. tornado fan charger raddle apart in 2 weeks! and now my gps charger any tips to keep this from happening

    I assumed it was an inline fuse.

    My cord was confusing my GPS into thinking it was plugged into the computer all the time and I would have to restart it, and 50% of the time it it would work, the other half it would go back to the connected to PC screen.

    I bought a new cord at the truck stop that seems to work fine, although it seems to have an inline fuse as well.

    Petro in El Paso used to carry them, saw them recently at a Flying J also... Get the RM cord, it will work, the others do not.
