+VE7RY Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Your unit needs a software upload to the new version. you will heed a computer with a serial port (9 pin) and the data cable to connect the computer to the gps. contact Garmin tech support for the boot loader and download the update. remove the batteries from the gps, this will ensure it is off, and insert fresh batteries, press the power button once, this will turn it on, there will be no display. with the software on the pc send the boot loader to the gps. The unit will now turn on. after the boot is loaded then do the software update to prevent it from happening again. If anyone has a older unit check to see if you have the latest software for the e-trex and if not do the update to prevent this problem. Quote Link to comment
