Is this a known problem please? Buzzes continuously except when
connected to computer


Wont charge battery at all either. Battery is either completely dead
or the buzzing and the charging problem are connected somehow. *Is
there anything which can be done about this? Garmin have helpfully
offered to replace it but want something just over the used value for
the unit to do it. Not sure if it is worth spending money on it??


It works fine otherwise and has updated maps. Don't know what features
newer units have which I might need.


Could buzzing be a short in the battery which could be fixed simply by
replacing the battery? Or should i just disconnect the speaker somehow
pending someone figuring out what is wrong with it?


if the battery charger is defective, it would / could cause buzzing.
Technically, the charger might be putting out AC instead of DC.


Thanks for that but it buzzes on two adapters as well as on the ac
adapter which I have to use in home while trying to figure out what is
going on with this unit:
