If you have it plugged in and checked the sats page it should say external power. If it shows E with a green line to F with new batteries then you are running on batteries. Check the connection to make sure it is snug and proper. Also check the fuse in the power supply, it may a popped and need to be replaced. Screw off the silver tip to check. Also the end that plugs into the GPS should have two small prongs as connectors. Make sure one isn't bent.

But even when it states "Using External Power" I had a drain on the batteries and then it shut down. Never had this problem before so I'm open to suggestions too.

Unregistered	Sorry my post above of what appears to be the same problem. I somehow missed yours. Have you come to any conclusions ?
