Garmin Nuvi 2539LMT Screen Won't Turn On

Possible Solutions:

The Garmin Nuvi 2539LMT’s battery life has diminished, preventing the use of the device whilst in transit or without constant access to a charging cord.

• Unscrew the four screws present on the back of the Garmin Nuvi 2539LMT
• pry apart the screen and back panel from a corner position, tracing the seam
• Gently fold the screen forward, the text “Garmin” denoting the pivot, taking care not to damage the internal connection
• Without removing this completely, pry the battery, a now exposed white rectangular component, from the surrounding casing
• Disconnect the square silver element which the two wires directly connected to the battery lead into
• Remove the battery, which includes the square component the two wires connect to, from the Garmin Nuvi 2539LMT
• Press the corresponding wire element of the replacement battery into the depression the previous element occupied
• Insert the body of the replacement battery fully into the available space
• Return the screen to the original position and press along the seam, so that this is flush with the back panel
• Screw back in the initially removed four screws to the corresponding corners of the back panel
• Charge the Garmin Nuvi 2539LMT so as to verify that new battery is functional and correctly connected

[remember to dispose of the depleted battery in accordance with environmental regulations or preferably recycle this as feasible]
