Support Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products. (part two)

Well I updated maps and it fixed the charging light issue, which is kinda odd. It only turns red when it speaks now, then immediately back to green. Not sure how those two could be related. Maybe I'm still on borrowed time, who knows.

 

Mark,
My 720 is acting up. Lost green charge light moons ago......was red now orange. Full time too, unhook USB power and she's gone, immediately.

Now if you lose power screen goes white. Ignores all commands unless you reset. Wont answer on/off button or anything. Does function after reset but all daily data is lost.

Thoughts?

 

Sounds similar to my problems. I tried a new power cord and that didn't fix it. Got it home and did a map update on the dock and now it's fixed. Don't ask me how. I suspected the charging port on the unit went bad. Might be your issue.

 

Did maint repairs. Acting better but I think battery is toast.......been on chg. for hours and cries foul when taken off the tether.

 

Update: The green light is back and so is the battery....for now. Need an hour plus on wifi to update the maps. Maybe at the office tomorrow.....

 

My Rand 730 keeps loosing GPS. Been using it 6 months no issues. Just started last week. Same location on windshield. Haven't updated it since November. I'm a car hauler but still hadnt had issues until now. Thoughts?

 

It's been working since I threatened it. .9 to 1.3. Used seen 10/12.

When not working was 0/12, 0/13, or 0/32 satellites.
