1) Charge it by usb port on your computer
2) Replace the cig lighter
3) Get adapter, cig light to usb port

I have tried charging it from the car and the USB cord, and I do not have an AC adapter and would prefer to not buy one.
Thank You so much for your help.
The Garmin tech support folks can tell, but what I’ve heard from a very few folks who’ve had that problem was the tiny, thin wire broke loose from the battery. That might happen it the unit gets slammed hard. The antenna wire is also a very frail wire to watch out for. If you open the unit up and find this problem and solder back the connection, that might fix it. Another problem I’ve heard of is the battery being completely ruined by being left in the car in extremely high temperature. Garmin can repair that, or you can if you get the battery and transplant it. Those batteries have a protection circuit on them- something like a thermistor to protect it while charging. You can look for a replacement with the protector, or take the protector off the old ruined battery and put it on a new battery. Before you open anything, or mail anything, make sure there is power coming from the charger. It’ll say on the screen that the unit is charging and it has completed charging when the time is up.
