Magellan RoadMate 700 GPS Receiver Questions & Answers
MRM 700 won't start; screen flashes white . . . help.
stonelinton,
It's not your LCD, otherwise you would have heard the sound of buttons being pushed. If your units first screen is white and there is no logo screen or any legible images, then it's your NAND flash on your main board. The first image produced upon boot is the blue magellan screen. This is produced from the NAND flash and will show it no matter if a hard drive is present or not. After the Magellan screen it pulls images from the hard drive. So, it is the mainboard and the only way to fix it is to send it to Magellan repair and they will have to put in a new mainboard then reprogram your serial number, etc.

Unit keeps losing power. Cord has power light and
I had the same problem. It was the pin inside the **** clamp that was broken. As I wiggled the plug in the unit the pin would dislodge. eventually the pin got lodged in the 12v power cord.

How do I get the map to move when the car moves
The device may not be receiving GPS signal. Please make sure the antenna is flipped up and securely fastened to the device. The slightest disconnect between the device and the antenna will cause an issue. Also make sure the device has a clear view of the sky. The device needs to be in the windshield. You may also have to wait up to 5 minutes before moving the vehicle to lock onto GPS signals.

Frozen screen when turned on
Kevin,
Hmm... it worked fine the first two times you ran it, then all of a sudden it freezes at the user screen?? I'm not sure if your able to do this, but at the user menu, try pressing the (-)zoom out key and the repeat button a the same time.
-If it does bring up the "secret" menu, try clearing user data.
-If you have a program that allows you to update the software, version 4.32 I'm guessing (or 5.14) then at that "secret" menu select NAND Flash Format and re-load the software.
If you can't access the "secret" menu and it locks up hard at the user menu w/out any responsiveness, I would suspect the hard drive is either bad or has corrupt data. I'm not sure if you can order just the hard drive from magellan/thales/tomtom/shaw but if you can then just replace the hard drive, nand flash format (above) and re-install your software via usb.
Additionally, not that it helps your problem, but atleast you would know the pwr and keypad work if this works, press Enter, Cancel and power button at the same time, as this SHOULD power off your unit.
Let me know if any new symptoms/problems come up or if you need further instructions.
-Daniel
