SAT. NAVAGATION : Navman 510 - Help Please!

[BROWNY]

First things first, I'm not a bloke so I know I shouldn't really be here, but I need your expertise please.

We have a Navman 510 (and could tell you a funny story or two about the weird and mostly dangerous routes that it has taken us).

1st problem was a faulty memory card that I replaced with a mini mmc card and it worked fine for a few days. We were travelling the other day when the screen went blank, voice still instructing us but we couldn't see anything. Now it seems to be dead as a door nail, any advice please (it's out of its warrantee), thanks fellas!!!

I'm not a bloke either!!! but - is the battery switch on the back switched on - its like a little hole, and you use the pen-thing to slide it over. Also there is a reset hole on the top that I've used a couple of times when mine has gone all weirdy

dh says bin it and next time buy a tom tom...was is first response. Unfortunately nowhere can repair them unless it is the manufacturer themselves so might be worth getting in touch with navman.

lol - yes it's switched on, the screen is on now, but it's showing horizontal stripes in every colour under the sun!! I've pressed the reset buttons but it doesn't make any difference. Any more ideas? It cost a fortune and the warantee has run out!

just bought a new road atlas for 1.99 from local garage - is good enough for me

ipod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's back on!!!!

I kept pressing the reset button in frustration and the screen came back on!! All my favourites are there!! You must have sent some good vibes!! Thanks!

oh Nemo, hope you're feeling well and all's going fine!

Was about to bin it, have heard only good things about Tomtom, fingers crossed that it's going to work ok now!

YAYYYYYYY!!!! I've done something good today!!!! YAYYYYYYY!!! See, you only needed to ask the right person!!!!

I like my gadgets, I do.

good glad it worked...i know nothing about techo stuff...lol

I am ok browny thannks for asking...kids are good apart from dd being on a mission for me to get no sleep

Dh said that he'll never moan about me being on Mumsnet ever again! Wonder how long that will last! Thanks again!!

Nemo, you must be shattered, is your dd teething?
