Garmin nuvi 2557LMT: Why does my device not turn on unless it's plugged in

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 16:58:32 -0700

It’s actually a Garmin nuvi 2995 but that isn’t listed.

It will only turn on when plugged into the car, my PC or a USB charger, then it works OK.

I’ve left it plugged into a USB charger for over an hour, but it still won’t turn on unless it’s plugged in.

Can anyone suggest a fix ?

Garmin nuvi 2557LMT: Why does my 2557 shut off?

Mon, 18 Dec 2017 06:14:11 -0700

My Nuvi 2557 LMT frequently shuts off, particularly when traveling at low speed. The original power cable broke and I am using a generic power cable. Might there be a cable issue or has this Nuvi reached the next of it's serviceable life?
