Garmin 820 not connecting via USB.

Found one broken pin on the connection point on my 820. has been an issue recently. I count 4 pins in the connector and 1 broken pin at the base level.

The USB cable seems to have 5 receptacles.

Laptop displays yellow ! text box - USB Accessories Disabled. Unplug the accessory using too much power to re-enable USB devices.

So now, can't charge, can't connect and upload.

The USB connector in the 820 is broken? Replacing it would require some very delicate surgery and soldering. You can google "repair garmin usb connector" to get a general idea of what's involved. Garmin won't repair your device but instead usually offers a refurbished unit for something like $115 or so if it's out of warranty. Call Garmin support to find out what they can do.
