Garmin Nuvi 40 Lm

My GPS recently stopped getting a signal. I am not in any remote areas where I would expect this to happen. I am  in the city and still cannot get a signal. Is there an update that I need for the Garmin or should I take it back to where I bought it from. I have the extened warranty on it too. Thank you for your help
