Black dot on top left corner and center of photos

I have a similar problem i.e. black dots seems to appear on the top left corner and center of the photo. The dots are more obvious while the back ground colour is sky blue. I am worry that this might be the fungus in the camera body+sensor...is this possible or it is just dust on the sensor? Any comments and help is much much appreciated. Thank you.

This is dust on the sensor. Google the words...cleaning a digital camera sensor. You'll find instructions and sources for supplies.

It turned on and said touch dot several times now the screen is off center

Turn off Garmin. Pres top left screen and hold. While holding, turn unit on but keep holding corner. Once the black dot shows up again, use the eraser part of a pencil to chase the dot. That would give exact measurements. Your fingers may be wet or too large and are offsetting the screen area readings. Good Luck

Red dot seems to disappear when you move the sight right to left or up and down.

You are simply moving the dot out of the field of view.

The Aimpoint is set up to allow you to hit now matter where in the field of view the dot appears. High, low, right, left, it doesn't matter. If you can place the dot on target, your bullet will hit where the dot appears. Too much angle away from the center will move the dot out of your field of view however, This is apparently what is happening to you.

The screen on my Garmin Nuvi 200W won't respond. I tried the recalibration but the screen doesn't respond when I touch the dot. I also tried a hard reset and that didn't help either. Help please!

I'm getting inaccurate letter entry on the letters I type. For example, when I type a B an M appears - I'm noticing it on the bottom row of letters at this time. Solution?
