HI to all. Got myself a new nuvi 255W. upgrade the firmware to 6.10 via webupdater from garmin site. Loaded the roadguide philippine map 5.08. Everything was fine until i added another philippine map which i have been using on my GMXT. But when i start my nuvi it's stock on loading maps. was trying to hard reset it but my nuvi has no reset button. already tried to reset by pressing the bottom right corner of the screen and sliding the power on but it did not work also. is there any other options to hard reset the unit? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks and Good Day to all.

i think you brick the unit.
try plugging it to the computer and see if you can open the garmin drive. if youy can open the garmin drive, delete the gmapsupp. if not, you brick it and you have to send it to garmin taiwan and have it repaired. it will cost you roughly 3000.00 pesos.
so its your call...- Bruce LeeEmpty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.

Try to slide the power switch to the left for 8 seconds or more.Originally posted by eragon View PostComment

The 255W does have an undocumented reset button hidden directly under the serial number sticker (the side where the USB port is located). I also have a 255W and I can feel the extra hole (besides the screw hole) under the sticker.
The catch is, there's no way of poking it without removing the sticker or punching a hole through it. Either way, you'll probably have to destroy the sticker.
There's no place like 127.0.0.1Comment
