    I got this gps 2 weeks ago and today it stopped working. It won't power on at all. I called the FJ near me and they won't take it because it's been over 7 days since I bought it. Did I lose $299 or will Rand send me a new one? Sure hope so. This has been the best gps yet.

    Let me know what Flying J. Should be a 30 day warranty from the store.

    Meanwhile, turn the TND off for 12 hours without any power and then power on AC for 3 hours and see what happens.

    You can PM me if you wish.

    thanks,
    Mark

    It was the Flying J in Headingley, MB. I told the guy what happened and that I got the gps on the 9th. He said the return policy was only good for 7 days. I'm home now and this place is only 30 min form the house. I wanted to exchange it before I hit the road again. I will also try what you said. Thank you.

    I will forward this to Rand. Flying J in Canada may have different policies in effect.

    Forgot to ask... is this only on DC or AC also that it will not power up?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    By it's self it won't and the same on DC. I will give AC a shot and see what happens.

    When on power, try pressing the reset button on the back also.

    Thanks,

    I did what you said and now it works. So the question is why did it do that to begin with?

    Hard to say... when you have it on DC does the light ever go green? It should in about 4-5 hours. On AC it should take about 3 hours.

    Thanks,

    I plugged it into ac and it worked, then dc and it works. Now I'll leave it in the car for a few hours and see what happens. I'm just glad it's working again. Thanks for the help.
