This might be a long shot, but I'll give it a try . . .
My Garmin (GPSMAP 7608xsv) powered up as normal today, but within a few minutes powered itself off (apparently) and will not power back up. I checked the connections and the fuse, tried a bunch of things but still a no-go. In Googling, it appears that there are issues with the Garmins not powering up and various magic tricks to bring them back to life. I did not have my multimeter with me at the time![Cautious :cautious: :cautious:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Just wondering if anyone here has any direct experience on the Garmin chart plotters.
New ones are $1,500 ish . . . .![Er... what? o_O o_O](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
