376c Died

So I used my 376c last week. The battery had full power, when I turned it off. I put it away and today when I went to use it, it is dead. Absolutely dead. No power. It doesn't work on just battery, it doesn't work with external power, doesn't work with external power and no battery. I can push the power button and nothing happens. It is like there is a fuse blown. Any ideas?

I am going to South America on Wednesday and the 376c has been my workhorse although I have a Zumo 665 as backup. I sure would like to get it going again.

Thanks,

Try charging as mentioned in several of the posts in this thread.

OR internal battery issue as discussed here:

Thank, I haven't tried renew or charging the battery. But the 376c used to work without a battery even plugged in. Now I can't even get a response when I plug it into the wall.

same think happend to a 276c I have, I tried everything I could come up with including swapping parts from another unit but could never to get it to power up again

Yeah, I am coming to that conclusion as well. I just got finished completely disassembling it, and doing some voltage checks which were completely inconclusive. The result is that I am no closer to knowing why it did this then when I first posted.

I will jump in too. my 478 was showing charge complete a few times this spring then would go ahead and charge up. took it out on my dirt bike two days ago with no external power and it worked fine all day. today tried to charge it and nothing. totally dead.
