Hi guys. A friend was cleaning out and was going to throw this away. He said it doesn't work. I say I want to try fix it  :ricky:

So I put it on charge and after a few minuets the screen comes on with the Garmin Logo. we charge some more. Then it says it needs a software update.

Get on the Googler and download the Garmin Express but it does not pick up the gps on the usb port. Now there is only the garmin startup screen and nothing els. more googling and it seems that this is a common problem but the links and info on the garmin website don't work.

any advice or should I bin it? Let face it it must be an old device.
