Keep holding the screen unit finished or at least until 'Loader' or 'Software loading' appears on the screen.

Many many thanks, Neil!
"Hold the top LH corner of the screen" was the secret... Now, it is your excellent help that I came to patch it with success.
Now, I can happily take my nuvi overseas.... Once again, thanks for your kind assistance in the midst of end-of-year busyness.
I wish you a happy and blessed New Year.

Peace.
