I'm thinking those are options. Factory reset-resets it to factory settings. All waypoints and caches deleted. Unlocked features disappear, Find counts, and total distance traveled reset to zero. Run-Run the unit like normal, selecting no factory reset. Other-other options. Perhaps chance between kilometers and miles. Help-help topics, how do I...

 

See if any of those are selectable, and select run.

I just saw this post over in the GPS and Technology subforum. If you have trouble getting the GPS going again by just reinstalling the firmware then you may have to follow the instructions in the post by gelfling6 to unrestrict access to the flash memory first. Since you already have access to the maintenance screen you shouldn't have to follow the instructions for resetting the GPS but it won't hurt it if you do.
