Hi Raja,
Thanks for waiting. Im here to help. May I know if there are changes made on your Garmin device before you encounter this issue?
No changes have been made to the unit
Thanks for the information. Can you please provide the exact model of the unit?
Hi Raja,
Please press and hold the power button of your Garmin for 10-15 seconds to restart the unit. After rebooting check if the issue is fixed.
Let me know what happen. Thanks
The unit does NOT shut down, it just slowly scrolls 'system' in small letters on top 1/4 of the screen above the GARMIN logo.
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you....
What happen when you press and hold the power button?
After about 10 seconds of holding the power button down, it goes 'blink' (blank) for about 1/2 second, and then reverts back to the GARMIN logo in the center of the screen with 'system' scrolling on top 1/4 of the screen.
And still wont respond to touch is that correct?
I finally had a chance to just sit and look at the unit....even without touching the power button, as it scrolls 'system', occasionally it shows LOADING, goes blank and reverts back.
NO response to the touch either....
Thanks for your response. It seem this is more of a hardware issue and requires repair/part replacement. How old is your unit? Is it less than a Year or more than a year?
Its more than a year old, out of warranty. How does one estimate the $ for hardware repair issue?
For 2797LMT the repair rate is around $110.
Ahh, OK. thank you for your help, Cheers!
I did just 'accept' and paid, didn't tip you...(problem not solved), do let me know that you got paid. Thanks.
Thanks. Yes I got paid for accepting the answer. Have a blessed day to you.
