Same Problem. Started with 2 letters then went to several, now all I have are A,B,C,D and space bar where the E should be, all others blank.

I hooked up the USB and when it connected to me computer it fixed the problem. What's up with this issue ???

I simply used my camera's USB cord and hooked it up to my Garmin and downloaded an update. Seems to be working fine now. It brought all my letters back perfectly.

same thing happened to mine, except it is the B and S. No pun intended... I push mode, then change it to british, and use the letters there. Inconvenient, and it doesn't fix the prob, but at least you can find what you are looking for.

I had this same problem. At first several letters were missing and then it got worse. Language was set to English. I hooked it up to the USB port on my computer and didn't download anything but just hooking it up to the USB port and turning it on reset the system. All the letters now appear.
