These are the instructions I got from Garmin as how to do the Master reset:

Here are the steps to backing up the favorites on your unit and then performing the master reset. First, you’ll want to plug your unit into your computer via USB cable. Once it’s plugged in, you’ll want to go to My Computer in your start menu or from your desktop and double-click on the Nuvi. At this point, you should see a few folders, but you’ll want to double-click on the Garmin folder. Here, you’ll want to look for the “GPX” folder and you’ll double-click on that. In this folder, you’ll want to drag and drop the file titled “Current.gpx” to your desktop to copy it. Now you are able to do the master reset.

To do that, you’ll want to start with the unit turned off and press and hold on the upper left hand corner of the touch screen. While holding the touch screen, power the unit on and continue to hold. You should get a message that asks if you really want to go into maintenance mode and you’ll want to select “Yes”. At this point, you’ll want to select “clear user data” and then select “Yes” when it asks you if you really want to clear user data. Now, the unit should restart and you’ll want to take it where it has a clear view of the sky and let it sit for up to 30 minutes to acquire satellites. If after 30 minutes it does not acquire satellites, you can go ahead and reply back to me.

Either way, once we have your unit back working again, you can follow the first set of steps again to get to the GPX folder and drag the “Current.gpx” folder from your desktop to that folder on your unit. This will replace your favorites.

Same problem here, but still working, sorta... Touch the letter R and you get O. Touch T and you get S. It's VERY VERY frustrating. :(

Hello
The battery is fully discharged. Charg the system for at least 12Hours and check. If the touch screen is not responding properly; Calibrate the screen. To calibrate it, on the "Menu" page touch Tools=>Settings=>Display. Touch "Recalibrate" button and follow the on-screen instructions. Keep your device charged without any interruptions in charging period. OK.

you could try taking out the battery and restarting everything might just need a reboot

The touchscreen needs to be replaced. Please see this link for more info:

Your not the Lone Ranger on this problem. After awhile the battery will no longer take a charge. IT is not a replaceable battery by the user. It must be sent back to Garmin for a new battery. If you only use the gps when in a vehicle, it still will work fine when pluged into a 12v source.

The touchscreen work for a period amount of time as it is used.go back to the shop and replace.if they dont have go to an electronic place, and orderhow large (inch) is and touchscreen, you can find on ebaybecareful your credit card

when you are at the where to screen press where to ? thenat the next screen press address, then at the next screen you will notice at the bottom of the screen it says change state/country. press that and then at the next screen press the spell state or province button. you can now type in any state you would like. good luck and happy traveling.

If you forget the PIN or password unlock code to unlock the Garmin unit, the best solution is to bring it to Garmin to get unlocked. It is a anti-theft feature, you can't clear it.

folks, the garmins have an on-board battery that needs to be powered up (at least occasionally) via the usb port - like from your computer. just using the dc car power cord does nothing for this battery. i've had this exact same problem on both my 760 and 780 nuvi units. fixed it using the usb charge. seems to run down differently for all the various nuvi models. my regular charge will hold for 7 hours on my old 660, my 760 and 780 work about 5 hours. my 'power up' failed on the 660 after 10 months with no internal battery charge, but the 7xx models only took about 5-6 months to 'fail.' hope this helps. jack b :-) in midland, tx usa
