'Screen Freeze' - Do you mean the touchscreen does not respond? Or is the device totally unresponsive? Does it respond to pressing the power button?

I was afraid of that.
You will have to contact Garmin, and they will most likely have to replace the device.
If you have important data on the Montana you need to retrieve before replacement, you can still enter Forced USB Mass Storage Mode to move that data to a safe location until the replacement unit arrives.
Please update us on your resolution!

I installed firmware update 6.30 on my 700i
I had no problems installing the software, and the 700i smoothly rebooted running firmware 6.30.

It appears Garmin may soon have available a software solution to recover these devices without requiring replacement.

Just to let you know:
6.30 went smoothly on my 750i (by using my Macbook loading the update.gcd to \GARMIN\). No need to refirmware it with 6.40 BETA
