Problem with my 66s....
Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2019 8:04 am
Hello,
This morning Sunday 12/01, I turn on my Gpsmap 66s and it does not start, it remains on the Garmin start page.
I remove the μSD and batteries I wait a little while then put the batteries, same problem.
I'm trying to reboot the 66s. I simultaneously pressed "page" and "enter" then "on", it asks to "delete user data", which I did but nothing happens at restart.
I start again but this time the request is in English, as it has deleted the user data but it does not restart better.
I also tried the method you sent to a colleague who had a blockage of his 66s:
In order to completely reset your GPS please:
1- Turn off the GPS
2- Position yourself in an open corner, outside.
3- Hold the following buttons: "QUIT" + "MENU" "OUT".
4- Press the "POWER" button while holding down the "QUIT" + "MENU" "OUT" buttons.
5- When the device turns on, after 5 seconds, release the "POWER" button, and then release the other buttons (the display must remain on Garmin).
6- The GPS restarts and asks for your country, enter the settings. Your device is reset.
Attention, this manipulation is a reset, so this may delete all your user data (routes, waypoints or registered addresses, settings etc ...), remember to make a backup on your computer as far as possible.
It's inoperative .....
On the other hand, the screen remains a little bright for two to four minutes after removing the batteries, I see Garmin on the screen, as if the screen had afterglow, it did not when it was working normally.
Can not connect it to a USB cable to the PC, unrecognized.
An idea ?
