Thanks for your reply,.

Yes, it's an original charger which works fine with my other Garmin GPS.

I think that's the problem of mini-USB too, any recommendations?

Thanks!

It is possible that the mini-usb connector on the back of the Nuvi may have failed.

Test the connector by gently wiggling it. If it feels loose, it is a an indicator that it may have become disconnected internally.

Is the red light from loading still on when shutting down and reboot?

It is a common problem to this GPS.

Is it an Original charger and cable?

Kind regards,

Kevin
