I'm having the same problem with my Garmin nuvi255w and looks like no answers on this fix yet? Garmin says they won't fix this model so I am looking at Nabilselectronics.com to see if they can help and was wondering if any one else has heard of em?
Has anyone found a solution? I charged my 765 the other day with my Garmin AC charger. After a few hours I checked the screen to see if it displayed charging complete. It did not, and the Nuvi 765 as well as charger were quite warm! Now the 765 only flickers when I try to turn it on. This is very frustrating because the unit has the newest updates, and was working fine before this.
I had the exact same problem, replaced the battery, 3 times as I thought the new batteries might all be duff…..I think the answer is: Never buy Garmin.
