Also try deleting the GarminDevice.xml file. Occasionally these can get corrupted. By deleting it you force the device to write a new one.
NO FILES ON THE GPS

"GPS works OK but no files are visible when connecting to multiple computers" - Very strange, I suspect some RAM corruption. May have to 'call' Garmin and see what they can tell you.
Another option: Downgrade the Firmware (Create a Garmin directory and place an older firmware GCD file inside, then reboot - see Firmware page), and see if file structure is renewed after. Then update to current firmware again after.
