Garmin Nuvi 255W

We have a Garmin Nuvi, its Internal drive was being formatted to Fat 16 or Fat 32. One of those two, but the pc crashed half way.

We can use it but without voices, only the sound of tapping on screen is heard.

We have resorted to using the SD card to use the map, and if that SD card was not in there the Garmin Nuvi 255W just would not start up properly.

-----------------------

Details below......

Now it does start but after turning it on, a few seconds (maybe 4seconds) later it turns off then on again, and keeps on doing it non stop.(THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT THE SD CARD WITH A MAP ON)

I tried a soft reset, hold the slider on the top left, to the left and hold for 8 sec. no luck
I tried hard reset, hold bottom right of screen before power on and keep holding until it starts and says do you want to erase all user data , etc, but i need it to stay on for for more than 4 sec. Howerver it won't let itself stay on for more than 4 sec.


p.s. i can soft reset if the sd card is in, as it stays on and can be used normally without voice.
But doing a hard reset just does not seem to work with sd card in. i did a hard reset before the internal became messed up , like a week before.

any one help us out.

Thank you again, really glad we got your support
