Small update on this. I finally got it to work. I went and bought one of those bling bling cables with gold plated connectors. For the moment it works correctly and is detected by the PC. Lets see for how long Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I don't know if it will work from SD card but you might try a manual downgrade of the firmware. Older versions are available on the wiki pages. This may be a last resort option. Thanks, when I'll be so annoyed that I don't care anymore, I'll give this a try also. Don't want to brick it just yet .

I have tried the original one. It worked with it, then stopped. All the other 5 cables I tried were thinner so I guess I need to find another one the same or thicker. Ok, will stop messing with that then and just leave it on serial. Webupdater yes, did not recognize it; Basecamp no, will give that a try today. Yeah... not sure that is an option, while the device was new... at least it looked new (all sealed and screen protection still intact)... I got it off a guy that never used it and I have no idea where he got it from.

Thanks a lot, will give that a go when I get home.

1. USB sticks work just fine, Mouse / Keyboard work just fine, USB headset works just fine. When i plug in the Oregon in the USB port it is just not detected. There is not even a notification in system tray that tells me an unknown device was detected. It worked fine for a few hours, then it just stopped. All I did during that period is to upgrade to 4.8 with Garmin Express and test the "Send to GPS" option. I have plugged / unplugged it a few more times without a problem after that, so it might not be the upgrade to blame. At one point... it no longer worked. There is no USB "image" displayed on the device when it is plugged in, it is as if it would not be plugged in at all. Sometimes I get the message that the external power was disconnected but those are few and far between. 2. By windows (both 7 and 10). Not sure what the browser has to do with it unless you are talking about the Garmin Communicator plugin, in which case, no, not working anymore. 3. Saving to SD is not a problem, I got a lot of options... External Card reader for PC, internal for Laptop, or the less clean way of inserting the SD in my tablet and then back in the GPS unit after the gpx was downloaded. I have set the interface to both Serial and Spanner and nothing. I have hard reset it by holding the user and power buttons. I have also now come across the http://garminoregon6xx.wikispaces.com/ page with a few more solutions which I need to have a go at. It is frustrating that it is not working, but as long as I can still geocache with it and not just have an expensive paperweight, I'll be fine. Of-course it would be nice if I figure it out eventually and make it work as intended

Hi guys Small question here, how exactly can I load my geocaches (if possible) from the SD card? The reason I ask is because for some reason my Oregon is not recognized anymore by the PC (I tried different PC's, different cables) and I can not add to the Geocaching folder on the device anymore, so I was thinking if I can load them somehow from the SD card. Thanks
