Go 510 Will Not Turn On

[DonD]

I'm having a problem with my Go 510. A couple of weeks ago it wouldn't turn on. I thought it might be the battery. It wouldn't turn on while on the charger which I thought sounded less like the battery but I thought I'd try a replacement battery anyway since that's a known source of problems.

I replaced the battery and it still doesn't turn on. After I put the new battery in it did work initially so I thought I solved the problem. I left it turned on overnight while it was on the charger and this morning it was off and wouldn't turn back on. No green power light either.

I saw a thread that suggested a pin reset - which didn't work.

It's almost two years old so it's probably out of warranty. Any idea's of where to look now? Is it toast?

These replacement batteries are generally off-brand, and maybe it did not care for being left on the charger overnight. Try the pin reset again - AND BE SURE you are using the correct reset point - the 510 & 910's had a tricky location and some have tried it in the wrong spot.

the You might ask for a new battery to be shipped (don't say you left it overnight) if that doesn't work

If you get another battery, after charging it 3-4 hours first time - turn the unit on and off a few times to see if it has settled in. Be careful how you charge it in the future. Leaving it on the charger should not wipe it out - but whao knows.
