Garmin Zumo 660 Failing Me

Evening all,
My Garmin zumo 660 is now no longer starting on the buton. It will load and then not even get to the home screen and shut down again. I have to repeat this process around 5 times before it will actually get to the home screen. Anyone else had this issue? Can it be resolved or is it time to throw it?

If it is time to change it , (assuming a reboot won't work) you'll find that your 660 is no longer supported by Garmin so they won't repair it for you, so how about taking advantage of Garmin's ' Trade in- Trade Up' deal?
I did when my 660 stopped working, the price was far cheaper than even the internet sheds could come up with, and it was much , much cheaper than Currys and the usual suspects were quoting.
Seeing as mine was u/s and probably went straight in the bin, I don't know how they offer such a good deal on a new 695

Does the 695 use the same connectors and cradle as the 660?

Did you try sourcing another battery this can also affect it even when its in the cradle?

Unfortunately no
I bought a new TT lockable mount and powered cradle for it

Ok further on from earlier. I have spoken with garmin and they belive the unit can not be fixed. They did offer a exchange for another 660 then realised that they didnt make it any more so offed the buy up proccess. I think for now i will have to stick it out with this one until it completly packs up. Luckily im not planning on going out of the uk until next year

I have to buy a new unit from them at full RRP. Then they would send me a return bag for old unit and on confirmation that it's knackered they would give me a 25% refund from the new unit
