Bought this unit used a couple weeks ago and it was working fine. Tried to connect to PC to update maps and was not able to find unit on PC (I know all about hidden files). Did a factory reset and now it seems bricked: loads up to "Loading maps" then stays there.
I tried
* turning on then pressing on power switch at copyright screen until "turn off device" appears, but neither button "cancel", "off" does anything
* putting a downloaded gcd file renamed to gupdate.gcd into microSD Garmin folder to try to boot from that
* calling Garmin support who told me there's nothing you can do
Hopefully one the gurus here can think of something?
MANY THANKS
