you should charge it and then when youre done dont forget to turn it off if that dont work then got to radioshack and buy a new battery!

most likely the speaker is blown internally! Try with a headphone and see if that fixes your problem. If it does you can buy a cheap external speaker for any headphone style jack to use!

Google for the owner manual with the model number to make sure sound not turned to OFF, short of that maybe a bad speaker or something like that.Majellan has a fairly good customer service record and may if it needs repair fix it for a flat fee.

i fix these and many other magellan gps daily so when considering my advice , please understand i do not google my solutions.

assuming your car charger is working (the little green light is on) and your magellan still wont start up after holding the power button while its plugged in for up to ten seconds and still does not start..read below

this is actually a very common problem with these magellan power ports...they are poor quality from the factory and always and i mean always fail..the new ports that you find on ebay are 100% better then the factory port.

if your able to replace that power port yourself, you can get one HERE, if not, ask the fellow that sells them for help.

due to some dubious "experts" on fixya, im not permitted to help you directly, but please follow the link above to get further help.

let me know if you need more help or info
