Alpha 100 wont turn on
Alpha 100 wont turn on
My alpha wont turn on. When I hit the power button, it shows Garmin, says it is loading maps and then fades to almost black where I can barely read Garmin. Then it eventually goes completely Blank. I need help. My bear hunt is in two days. Any advice from anyone?

Re: Alpha 100 wont turn on
If you have a map chip in it remove the map chip.
The other thing is to unplug the battery, Plug in the power cord and try to turn it on without the battery. If it turns on without the battery install the battery after it's on, then let it charge.
If that works, Once it's charged you will should to update the software so it won't do that again.

Thx buddy. Pulling the chip worked. It did it once again and pulling the chip worked again. Thanks for the advice.
