it needs a new battery...its a very common problem with the 660

hi jeff,im not sure why your holding the power button for 2.5 hours, but any reset should be done while unpluggednow, with the unit off, press and hold the lower left corner of the screen...keep holding ti while you hit the power button to turn it on...keep holding it till you see the screen that asks if you really want to delete all data (this will erase you saved info) select yes the follow the onscreen instructions.

you need a digitizer if a reset did not work (rarely but sometimes the digitizer ribbon cable works itself loose and might just need reseated)

go to HERE and download and install the WebUpdater then run the program and hook your 660 to the computer using the USB cable and it will give you options to install all updates..

hi Davidflip up the antenna, then remove the two torx screws, then carefully remove the cover off the antenna that you just removed the screws, then look down inside where the the antenna pivots....the thing that is holding it is on the right side (if you have the antenna flipped toward you) and it is spring loaded.you need something small to slide it toward the left while your gently trying to pull it out of position...once you have the antenna unseated (its still connected with a short ribbon cable to the main board) youll see two more screws under the antenna you just removed.....remove those two screws, then lay the antenna back in postion, but without the piece you remove that keeps it in place.i normally put a piece of tape to hold the antenna while i work on the gps or atleast till i can unplug it from the board.now take your fingnail (thats what i use so i dont damage the housing)and slide it between the front and back halve till you hear or see it unsnap..theres at least two on each side og your nuvi...once you have the case split, lay it down screen side up (you can remove the screen if you want, just unhook the connectors) the remove the 2 screws holding the mother board , lift the board and now youll see the battery and speaker on the back.let me know if you need more help or need someone to repair it for you.

seems there is no fix. I sent mine in for repair and they replaced it under the guarantee

do you still need help with this?

Hello,

Try performing a soft reset.
Disconnect the unit from any external power supply.
Depress the reset button behind the flip up antenna.
Reconnect the unit to the power supply and let it should work normally.

If the soft reset does not work, try performing a hard reset.
Caution: Performing a hard reset will erase all user information including favorites and bookmarks and restore the unit back to factory settings. Be sure to save any information before performing the hard reset.
With the unit off, press and hold the lower right hand corner of the screen while turning the power on until a pop-up appears. Press "Yes" to restore the unit back to factory settings.

Radio Shack have a Device sort of an adapter that works great with it , also u need to check on the car/truck fuse or just simple get a new adapter from radio shack
