Hi

I have a situation with a Nuvi 2595 which I think I can solve, but need advice from more experienced people.

The state so far:

Downloaded new maps about ten days ago and everything seemed fine. Then unit apparently lost those maps and all POI's and was no longer recognized as an MTP device or mass storage. It booted okay and I was able to go to the Developers screen and turn it to a mass storage device - this made no difference. Win7 could NOT 'see' device so I could do nothing online.

Decided to use GarminCure and flash device with CureFW. I can now see device in win, but only as a completely unallocated device. However, I can not allocated a drive letter or new volume, win is not allowing this because the device contains info??

Anyway(bear with me)I have managed to get into the device using zar 9.2. THe POI's are still there and I think the maps, have backed up what I can.

Should I now format this beast and load the minimal files to get it started? If so what are the MINIMUM files it needs to get it to boot?
Or is it a brick?

thanks for any help
