66i refuses to charge

Hi everyone,

My 3 mth old 66i, will not charge at all. Tried multiple cables, chargers, power banks. Nada. All I get if I hold the power button on, and on initially connecting is the image below.

I suppose this means it has to go back under warranty as useless?

Same exact thing happened to me on a 3month old 66i

Open up a support case with Garmin, I don't think anyone here can help you with this if you tried multiple cables and charges.

If the device is indeed 3 months old it's still under warranty there should be no issue in having Garmin replace the device.

If nothing else works, you can try a full factory reset. Chances are that support will suggest this as a first step.

If you can still reach the menus, Setup > Reset > Delete All.

If not, factory reset from button pushes only here: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=Z41VbtQ1EH7F4wmdm0hfE6&productID=623975&tab=topics

Both approaches do the same thing. All user data will be lost. You will need to repeat the outdoor portion of iR activation.

Garmin have agreed it's busted. Getting a refund from the shop.
