Webupdater with Garmin 62s

[+vaetanone]

Just did a webupdater update for my Garmin 62s from Ver 2.4 to Ver 2.5. Everything appeared normal until the process completed. Unplugged unit from computer. Normally here it turns off. Then heart palpitations started. Unit hung at the startup page where Garmin is displayed with small blue triangle over n. Waited as palpitations continued, waited longer. Tried to turn off using on/off button. Nothing. More palpitations, started searching for manual update procedure. Finally removed battery, cursed thing finally went off. Re-inserted battery, normal startup, shows correct Version, loaded caches, all appears normal. Palpitations calmed down. Anybody else seen this?

Just unplugged, or did you do a proper USB disconnect first (which is what should show you the shut-down anyway)?

i have had that happen with my 62s as well. both before and after i updated the firmware.

 

i have also had to plug it back in and redo the caches from GSAK as it didnt show the unit as having any.

Yep... Mine seems a bit delayed on some loads.

I downloaded from gsak and it looked like nothing was deleted...so I did it again.

The second time, the old caches were deleted, but I couldn't see the 1700 new caches I had loaded.

So...I downloaded one more time. It looks correct now.

 

I used their website and the DASHBoARd to update my software. It worked the second time.

 

I guess as long as it works when I'm done, ...... I'm going caching.

Hey VK 1700 caches!!!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I think mischief may be in the air.

ecanderson, no I didn't do a safe removal. Wish I had read your question before I updated wife's to 2.6. Had to remove battery followed by hard reset this time. When I get a chance I will update mine to 2.6 and try the safe remove to see if that helps.

mine updated to 2.6 with no problems, no safe remove, no shutdowns etc.
