1490T Reboots on its own

**Dms100tech** · 4th June 2011, 12:17 AM

Hi, I purchased a rebuilt 1490T a few months back and during a rescent trip to CA this unit has rebooted 4 times while navigating, all on its own. It also rebooted a couple more times during another 3 day trip. To all you Garmin owners .. is this number of reboots unusual or should I attempt to get a warranty replacement. I am beggining to suspect that perhaps the reboot issue is the reason this unit was returned in the first place. Thanks to all

Which firmware ? have you updated it recently ?

Firmware should be the last one.
But in the fact ., the last firmware won't insure you get no problem.
For example., Thai 3770 with lastest firmware swv2.10 --> restart while navigate.
ESRI(Garmin dealer in Thailand) will release new firmware to fix it.

That is for 37xx., but I've never heard about restarting of 1xxx before.

Hi, I am running the latest 5.30 firmware, it rebooted 2 times on this load and while I was in CA it rebooted 4 times with 5.10 firmware.

I knew about shutdowns problems with old sw when 1490 temporarly looses satellite reception , but it shouldnt have this issue with the new sw. Try an hard reset, sometimes it corrects these kind of problems- If it wont , contact Garmin support.

Hi, Performed a hard reset, will have to wait and see if it happens again, it's very intermittent so it might take a while to reoccur.
Thanks to all
