Will turn on but will just keep flashing the garmin logo and wont go any further. What can I do?

your battery in your garmin does not have enough power to stay on. You have to charge through your car outlet or usb port on computer. Only other option is to replace battery if it doesnt charge from car outlet since you said wont connect to computer.

Hi there,

Well to avoid this problem you can do a hard reset, that reset set all the settings to factory default and it again format in fat file system, Turn the unit off. Hold your thumb on the bottom right of screen and turn it on, keeping your thumb there. Say "Yes" when prompted. Please post comments if further you have the same problem......

Good Luck!!

Thanks
