No, the hardware was not affected. The problem is that Garmin devices are very sensitive to the format of the visible file system. Not all FAT formats are the same by any means and although with some device types it doesn't matter at all, for Garmin devices it can be crucial to have the exactly correct format. RMPrepUSB format as per that link's settings mimics the original factory settings used by Garmin.
