Gps that turns off unexpectedly

Hello,
My Garmin GPS 2495lm turns off after a few seconds despite a full battery or when plugged into the cigarette lighter (with the ignition on), and I recently updated the software!
I don’t use my GPS often, I protect it properly, and I don't expose it to the sun indefinitely.
It is almost new!
Thank you in advance for your responses!

Configuration: Windows Vista / Chrome 43.0.2357.124

    Hello
    It seems that your battery is out of order, even though it looks full.

    Who loves instruction! find the knowledge that comes from reflection!
    PS. Frequently create a restore point! it solves quite a few problems.

      Thank you, Tribun!
      I considered this possibility. I will surely return it to customer service for them to check it.
      Given that I haven't changed any settings and have recently updated the software, I am indeed leaning towards a hardware failure!
      Thank you very much!

        Hello,

        I experienced exactly the same phenomenon recently on my Tomtom Via 135 after renewing the European map and updating the firmware.
        After a few uses (where I had to reboot it all the time), everything went back to normal.
