I dont think my nuvi is bricked i have read all the threads in this section and your term bricked seems to be a firmware problem. i have an old 1300 nuvi that is wore out battery wont hold a charge power cord wont make good contact it will come on and hook to computer i did have problems till i removed usb from hardware and reinstalled it then it had no problem finding all 3 of my garmins. I got a 1300lm of a wrecker driver i know its great has lifetime updates on maps it wouldnt locate sats until i updated it now it works fine. my old one that went thru heck with me in work van is 1300. my computor said it had a corrupt file system so i ran scandisk and autofix files. i did get two .0001 recovered files out of it. i saved all the files and decided to format it. lol i know now i read all the threads never format one. but it is junk wont hold charge cord wont stay connected i thought well its good for a spare screen and parts. anyway after format it never would reconize maps it says cant unlockmaps no detaied maps when i turn it on.when i go to poi or adress it says no data available. im just paying with it to see if i can recover it. i did erase my backup i made but im new at this i thought the sys error in checkdisk ruined it. it reconises base map and the updated north america maps in inventory but this unit is for a 2010 map with no ifetime updated i got the unlock coded and tried putting them all in the .unl file to try to unlock it and nothing works evn put a 2009 map in it out of another older gps and have his unlock cod but that gapprom.img file doesnt even need an unlocker. like is said its not important to fix it battery dead and cord wont stay conected and it did good for 6 or 7 years. im goona look thru and see if i can find the 2010 map it supposed to have. it is regestered i have unlock codes i gonna call and see if support can give me new unlock codes if not its parts lol it works good even picks up sats i just cant bring it back to reconise maps i dont think the unbricking stuff ive read thru will help it. oh well im gonna keep on reading threads and see if i can make it work just for fun i know if they say i got to pay them ill hit a pawn shop and buy a better one lol i got a good one so a parts one incase i break screen is good. lol
