I have a garmin zumo 395lm
All of a sudden it won’t charge in the cradle
It charges fine plugged in to the usb
I’ve replaced the power lead with a new one and no joy.
I’ve cleaned the pins on the back of the nav.
If I hold the pins manually to the unit one way nothing happens.
The other way it turns the nav off??
Before I give up anyone got any ideas
 
The two pins on the cable, have weak springs which can fail, I've had two fail. Although a new cable ought to have good pins/springs

I inserted a spacer (bit of card) behind the cable end bit, to make the pins sit more proud & so have more positive contact with the nav. Worked for a while, eventually replaced the cable.

Had this last week, drop of WD40 on the pins freed them up. Probably a temp fix tho', resigned to buying a new cable eventually
