Have a spare 255w lying around hwid827. Was playing round and updated to 456w firmware 3.1. This worked, however then tried to update to 3.6. Update failed with "system software missing", then turned off Nuvi. Now the Nuvi won't bootup at all, no error messages, nothing on screen its just dead. Plugging into USB, doesn't turn on, nothing on screen at all and not recognised by computer.
Not recognised by updater.exe, or seen in device manager. So it seems the 255w is bricked quite badly and can't enter pre boot mode? Any thoughts if it is possible to recover?
