There is a Reset button on the right side of the unit under the faceplate. At the top center of the faceplate is an indentation. Stick your fingernail under this and pull it forward. Then, gently remove the faceplate and you will see the Reset button. Press this and see if it helps. If not, there is a Master Reset technique, but doing this WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR FAVORITES. If you have no choice, press and hold the bottom right of the screen and press the power button. The unit should reset, but again, all your favorites will be gone.

With the garmin off, hold down the right bottom of the screen and turn the garmin on, it will then ask you if you want to perform a hard reset. Choose yes and that should fix your problem.

My garmin dezl 770mltd has frozen while installing garmin express

You are not supposed to install Garmin Express onto the GPS, you install it onto your PC. You may need to send the unit back to Garmin to have the software reset.

Garmin nuvi 265 will not respend to touch, frozen screen, did the updates still the same

have you tried a rest? if not do that, to do a reset hold the power slider to the left for 10 seconds this will set the GPS back to factory settings, if that doesn't cure the problem you must send the GPS back to Garmin for service, there are no user serviceable parts on the unit, you can't even take the two halves apart without special tools or you will ruin it. Below you will find a link to the out of warranty Garmin web page to start the repair process should the reset not work.

Screen frozen so I restarted and I get opening Garmin screen and "loading maps"

The unit will need to be sent in for replacement. First try a Firmware update using Garmin Webupdater. Its a free download from www.garmin.com If that doesn't work contact your dealer.

Power down the unit by removing power on it. Some of these units reacted to the heat buildup if they were mounted on the windshield glass
