My 9055-LM went dead. It will not "come on. Is there an internal battery that must be replaced? Has my GPS "bit the dust"?

The internal battery is constantly being recharged while the unit is operating. Has the unit been in storage for a long period? Also I believe there is a reset button on the unit. Just a small hole where you insert a pin or paper clip to push it. I don't have the unit in front of me but this would be typical. Good luck.

Hello. My 9055-LM went dead too. I have NO idea why! Right now it is at electronic service. Will see.

Yes there is an internal battery you could try to replace but it is not normally supposed to be user-serviceable. First I would make sure the dc adapter is working and/or try another adapter. It is more likely that the adapter has died as even if the battery was 'dead' (i.e., would not hold any charge) it should still allow passage of enough current to work while plugged into a power source. Even brand new, my battery only lasted perhaps ten minutes. If left for a few days without driving, it completely discharges, but works fine as long as it is plugged in. There have been occasions the adapter came loose and I thought the unit had died but I just needed to jiggle the adapter in the 12v socket.

For the process of elimination make sure your power button is on on the top. Unit should be plugged into your vehicle power cord. I always have ny engine running before I plug in the power cord in. It should come on within abt 5 min or sooner. Your internal battery is charging at this time and can rub for about 30 minutes unplugged with no power. Make sure your unit is on your dash because of course it needs to have a clear line to the satellite. Hope this helps.

The instructions I received with my purchase indicates there is a battery but does not explain how to exchange the battery.

If there's a way to change the battery, I couldn't find it. Mine died after about 4 months. I like the unit, so bought a new one but if its battery dies as soon I'll have to try another product.

Thanks Scott. I sent my info to you & it was forwarded on to Josh at HP. He sent me a replacement battery which I just got. I really appreciate all the help.

I only had to plug it in. Try it in 3 different locatoons. If it's still dead, contact the seller.

Im surprised the battery only lasted 2 years! That's rediculous! I would contact Garmin and see if they will fix the watch for you.

Mr Keh, I bricked my unit as well years ago with your update, and I assure you I followed the procedure to the letter and did not have any power glitch during the update. The update system and product is clearly faulty. But, two years ago, when I had the issue, I simply purchased a Garmin unit, and I have warned dozens of people away from Magellan products ever since.

I have had a unit for quite a few years. I thought my battery had died and replacements were expensive. Started looking at just getting a new unit. Then I put the battery back in and it has worked fine for what has now been a couple more years. Don't know what happened, might have been a connection problem????

You have to connect to a 12v battery.There is no internal battery to power up gps

Ours did the same thing. I called the service Department. They were great. Diagnosed the problem, that the battery was bad, right on the phone. Bought a new battery, on Amazon, of course. Sure enough. the machine works great again.

Good Luck, I received 2 of these GPS Units and neither worked. The seller requested I remove my negative feedback from the site prior to a refund being issued. Had to get Amazon involved to resolve this mater. In my opinion this is a buyer-be-ware seller offering a low quality item and attempting to publish false feedback to potential customers !!!!!!!

I had 5 of this model GPS. Each lasted about 6 weeks. After trying several other models I did not like as much as the 9055-LM, I finally let my husband replace the battery with a better model. He must have done the research on the internet. The GPS is still working with the stronger replacement battery, and it has been at least a year. I still love the size and easy of this GPS. They stopped making the model.

Doito, went dead, no LED light indicates to me that your batter is nolonger connected, Check to make sure it has not disconnected, make sure it's not bad. Even new batteries are bad out of the box. I experienced this first hand as an electronics tech

Replacement the battery in remote. If that does not work contact viper or a service center.

Maybe you might open and re- close battery door. It doesn't always close well. I have never seem that message. If that doesn't work, call Garmin. They are very helpful.

if answer #1 doesn't work, call bushnell. I was having similar problems with mine, so I gave it away and bought a Garmin---no more problems...

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

Sorry to break the bad news but, it's time to either get a new unit or keep it plugged into the wall from now on. This unit has some type of proprietary battery that is not replaceable. I had the same problem and had to just get a new unit. Upgraded to the Uniden UBR243 model.
