I used it this morning with no problem. I got out of work, attempted to turn it on and nothing was happening. I plugged it in while in my car and hit the reset button, nothing happened. I then plugged it into my computer and nothing is happening.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

I had this issue also. When I got it out of the box, it had maybe 30 minutes of playtime without a charge before the battery went low. I used the USB it came with and found plugging it into my laptop AND desktop does absolutely nothing; even though the magellangps.com states the USB can be used as a charger on the PC.
It's been less than 8 hours since I've had it, and I have not gotten a chance to use the car adapter to charge it... I have a DC/AC unit inside my house which I am using to charge the unit and it works fine (incase you dont know what a DC/AC adapter is; its pretty much a lighter adapter that plugs into the wall).
MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT -
With my migraine starter experience with charging and powering on; I have read on 100's of Magellan 3250 reviews that cold tempratures cause these issues.
Other possible causes:
Battery is 100% dead = leave it in your car charging (HIDE UNDER THE SEAT!)
If the USB port plugged in charging in the car; if it is still not working, make sure that the FM part is also plugged in. I found that my GPS does not charge with just the USB end plugged... At least for me, it will only charge with BOTH ports plugged....
I hoped my novel helped... If it didn't; return your Magellan, and buy a GARMIN GPS. I have a Garmin that I bought for my hubby, and 2 years later, has never once experienced any issues.

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, MY UNIT IS LESS THAN 1 WEEK OLD, I ONLY USED IT 4 TIMES AND NOW ITS KAPUTT.
I got my Magellan in March- worked fine up till now. Now I plug it in to charge & I get nothing. I tried the car charger, charging it on my computer USB port, the home charger... nothing! I've done the "reset" and still nothing. I do typically leave it in my car and one person said something about cold temperatures causing problems?? Anyway, what can I do to fix it now??? HELP!!!!

Magellan Mastro is garbage. I want to try replacing the battery. It costs $17. Not sure if the processor is fried.
My GPS won't turn on - no power... what do I do?
