I think my Garmin 396 has finally lost its internal battery power. Yes, I know its an old unit and so am I ! Its used as a back up GPS and I really enjoy the Xm Wx and music . So,, I'm charging the unit with a 120v cord overnight and then tomorrow will see if it will connect to any sats. The problem seems to be time is in error and I believe that's symptomatic of a defective internal battery.
Is there anyone here on VAF that has soldered in a new battery and would be willing to do that for me? I'm not sure I would be successful at dissembling the unit and replacing. Ive looked at some old post Bobby Hester had provided and believe I will pass on that procedure. Any help appreciated.
