If you were doing
any time of a flash update, there is no reset.
I have seen many a
motherboard thrown away when someone turns off a computer in the midst of a bios
update.. Most hardware/firmware updates do not have an undo or reset once you
start.
Also, I know with
Garmin's you can choose the download.. You also agree to
this:
WARNING: If this
software is uploaded to a GPS unit other than the product for which it is
designed, you will not be able to operate that unit.
and
Remove the iQue from the cradle. It is very
important that the iQue's battery does not run out during the updating process,
so please verify that it is fully charged. Failure to charge the iQue fully
prior to updating the software may result in a permanent loss of the OS
requiring you to send your unit to Garmin for repair.
and
It is recommended that you disable screen
savers or other programs running on your PC while you go through the update
process. Disruptions to the update process may render your GPS inoperable. If
the transfer is interrupted, turn off the GPS and then turn it back on. Reboot
your PC, go to step #9 and attempt the download again. GARMIN is not responsible
for failed downloads of operating software to the GPS and factory resetting the
GPS unit will fall under our Flat Rate Repair Policy
So it is sometimes
easy to make a mistake on an update that requires factory
work..
Sorry to be the bad
news man.
Sure hope I don't have to do that. I can't
believe there is not a Reset of sorts that will let you get to some basic screen
and reload the software. I have a call into the 800 number, an email into
support and I am still looking for a hidden reset button.
Thanks, Bob
