i take it you tried the reset button?

also i dont know how old it is, but they had a problem with the chargers overcharging and blowing them, have a search on google about it.

if thats the case buy a new type charger and get it repaired, last one i got repaired cost £50.

mate i work at halfords and i have never sold a sony. When someone asks me to explain the different sat navs sony doesnt get a mention (along with route66/LG's/Navmans ). Stick with tomtom (perhaps the new 730 as thats the 2008 upgrade of the 72o which was the upgrade to the 710) or the garmin 760?
