OMG, Thanks so much for posting, it brought my Garmin back to life! I thought it was gone forever. Thanks again.

I was just about to go on a meltdown thinking it was gone... I think I've grown to dependent on it, up to the point I prefer not to run if I don't have it.

Thank you so much. I thought my 5 year old Garmin was dead. I was about to fork out the money for a new one. THANK YOU!!!

WOW indeed. Many thanks.  Such a great device and, suddenly, wouldn't boot. Hard reset brought it back to life. I'm very grateful.
