Garmin 2757

So today I get my Garmin 2757 from Garmin (about a week after ordered). Plug into computer dead. Plug into truck dead. Phone tech support don't work weekends. Leaving for Mx soon.

Tried different usb cord no dif. Truck cord had power. To turn on tried both hold power button to start and and also quick press. No dif.

Any ideas out there???
  • Have you tried holding the power button down for at least 10 seconds to reset the unit?
    Not sure on your model if it came with a little plastic tang that needs to be pulled out to connect the battery to the unit. I didn't see anything about it in the online manual.

    X2 little plastic disk so battery doesn't get used up before customer buys.

    We have one and when fuse had to be replaced we couldn't find at auto part store but found one at hardware store. We now carry a spare .
  • I have a 2757 and no problems. No battery tang thingy I can recall. I think if it is plugged into computer or vehicle the battery doesn't matter but not sure. Did you download the owner's manual from Garmin Online? I read mine and cannot find reference to your problem. No reference in troubleshooting. Maybe a bad unit. Contact them Monday. Chances are they will ship a replacement. You can probably talk them into FedEX. Or have them send to a stop on your route. Or the tech will know the solution and you will be good to go. Ours works great.
