try a brand new needle. Could also be threaded incorrectly--make sure the needle faces the correct direction. Possibly the machine is out of time (needle reaching the hook at the wrong time to intercept the bobbin thread). Search for: sewing machine timing

Viking engineered 1958 Elgin 2468 Introduction

Hello,

Check to be sure the nuvi has a fully charged battery or is connected to a power source.
Doing a soft reset on the nuvi will usually get the nuvi up and running.
If there is a reset button on the bottom, press and hold it until the nuvi powers back on. If it does not have the reset button on the bottom, slide and hold the power switch to the left for at least 10 seconds.
Also running the Garmin WebUpdater and reloading the latest update will resolve most issues.
Download and Install WebUpdater.

Try to charge your nuvi properly and full, or for at least 2hours before registering it. If the source of power connected to your nuvi is not strong enough, the nuvi might go off during an operation. Secure that the battery is well charged, then the source supplying the power is good enough to supply your nuvi with power before starting an operation.
Hope this helps.

To calibrate the touchscreen on a nuvi 300 or 600 series:

1. Power the unit On.
2. From the Where to? / View map screen, touch Settings (wrench icon).
3. Touch Display.
4. Touch Recalibrate.
5. A new screen will display that says Press Dot.
6. Touch the center of the dot.
7. Keep touching the center of the dot as it moves around the screen.
8. When Calibration Complete appears on the screen, please touch OK.

The touchscreen will now be recalibrated.

If your touchscreen is not responding to any touch and preventing you from recalibrating the touchscreen using the instructions above, please follow the steps below:

1. Connect your nuvi to your computer with a compatible USB cable.
2. Open the Garmin Nuvi drive located in MyComputer/Computer. (Note: Mac users can locate the Garmin Nuvi drive icon on the Desktop.)
3. Open the Garmin folder.
4. Locate and delete the GUPDATE.GCD file.1
5. Safely disconnect your nuvi from your computer.
6. Power the nuvi Off.
7. Power the nuvi on by holding the power button.
8. Continue holding the power button down for 1-2 minutes until the screen calibration option displays.
9. Touch the center of the dot as it moves around the screen.
10. When Calibration Complete appears on the screen, please touch OK.

The touchscreen will now be recalibrated and should respond properly.

No it's not the battery power: your nuvi has suffered the firmware equivalent of a stroke.

These are the steps to take to update your Nuvi 200:

Download and then run Garmin 200 WebUpdater to replace its firmware / system software.

I hope that helps.
