Maybe a dead battery... when you plug in the charger does the screen light up showing the % of the charge?

Might try taking the battery out and putting it back in to see if its making contact.

Just sent one of mine in today for the lost gps. It is the wire running from the gps antenna to the radio/battery box that is bad. I could hold the collar in a certain position and gps signal would come back.

Had mine do that before it show him running 200 yards in one direction all the way to a mile the run straight back and he was standing next to me. Garmin..... It's a luxury not a necessity. Had some old farts tell me that one time and I m a sure believer of it now.

hit it with a hammer and see if it works then.  ;D that crap is built in china or tiwan, then sent back to us, charged importation tax and its sold at an outrageous price when I cost them $50 to build. my 220 and dc30 collars r still working fine, only had an issue with a battery terminal came unplugged, but a lil super glue fixed that.
