Bought an opened but (supposedly) unused unit in late December 2017, worked fine both initially from the standard power cord then the Garmin park-mode cable.
The unit suddenly stopped working yesterday afternoon 5 months after installation, was working fine in the morning during a 1.5 hour drive beeping when encountering red-light camera locations in the GPS database, but not on the way home. when I pressed to record when a motor cycle flew by us at significantly higher speed than the highway speed we were going.
I took the unit inside after I got home, it did power up so I powered it back down before reconnecting to the cable in the car, it still wouldn't power up, now it won't power up at all with cigarette cable connected, press and held the power button for 12 seconds according to Garmin website.
Since I didn't buy the unit directly from a store so no bill of sale, doubt Garmin will honor any warranty coverage.
Any suggestions from the forum members here?
Thanks in advance.
