Hi,
I own a garmin 196 since 2004. It has worked up to 6 months ago (latest firmware 4.10). Up to yesterday I left the device at home without batteries.
Yesterday I tried to switch on the device (with new batteries in) and nothing happens, only a black screen (all pixels on).
Then I tried to upgrade the firmware to 4.40 and reloaded the maps. The upgrade was successful but the result is the same a black screen.
There exists a kind of 'hard reset'? I tried the one of 296 but without success...
Is this device so delicate that it is broken only being in a drawer
there is somebody that can help me?
