  • My 800 has stopped communicating with the computer. It charges but doesn't show in the finder. Have tried different leads and computer so definitely the device. Have done a hard reset and a boot block, but no joy. Any other ideas before I pay Garmin £75 for a replacement?

  • Why pay £75? I find it a joke that they sell a product and it does not last. My first one was two years old and they replaced it for free, and the next one died a similar death to yours after 9 months. When I hit them up, they told me that the devices that they send out are in fact new and not refurbished, it was after we discussed that a device should last longer that they relented and gave me another for free. I did explain that my GF has had an 800 for over 3 years and never had a problem. I think it is hit/miss with these !!!

  • Actually, good point. Originally purchased Nov 2011. Replaced in June 2012. Less than 3 years til it dies ain't enough. I'll call them again tomorrow.
