I had planned an itinerary and downloaded it to my 910 and off I went. I mounted the 910 and plugged into the cigar lighter socket. When I supplied power to the socket the 910 turned on. All was well for a few hours, then the unit turned off and would not turn back on.
When I got home I plugged in the AC adapter and connected it to the CAR mount and mounted the 910. The 910 came on and then turned off several times. Then I connected the AC adapter to the home mount with the USB cable attached and mounted the 910. After an hour or so I powered on the 910 and looked at battery status. It showed charging. I powered it off and reconnected and remounted to the car adapter and powered on the 910 and looked at the battery status. It showed a weak battery and did not say charging.
My conclusion is that the car mount is faulty and is not supplying the power that would charge the battery. I would be interested to hear if any of you can offer thoughts to support my conclusion or refute it, and if any of you have had similar experiences.
Ahah, new information. I reattached to the home mount and saw the same result as with the car mount. I am now beginning to suspect either a bad battery or faulty 910. Will call support.
