    Default Nuvi 3490 - "Image Not Found"

    I have a very unusual problems with my 3490: when I turn on, after the GARMIN Logo, a blank white screen appears with blue lowercase letters filling out contours like the words "Image Not Found". I can not install firmware by pre-boot or GarminCure3. Shortly after being recognized by the Updater.exe the system starts to read the firmware but reboots and stops the process. When it reboots the Garmin LOGO and Software Missing appear. With QuickCure3, the two GPS disk drives start recognizing, even they are identified by Windows, but the content is empty and the device icon flashes and loops that prevents the process from continuing.
    I also tried to backup some regions and also install rgn16, but it gives an error in the process and stays in an eternal looping, appearing the LOGO GARMIN reading the card, but not finishing. This is a problem I have never seen
    Curiously pressing and holding the finger where the battery icon would go into the hidden menu, but without any image, only text. In this step, unfortunately, Updater.exe also does not recognize the USB port. If anyone has any idea that I can implement, sre wil be welcome

    I have a similar problem with a friend's unit. Tried more or less what you have tried already...
    The end result was a dead unit within 3 days of attempts.
    In my opinion there were some dead memory blocks (bad sectors) in chip memory affecting several regions of FW.
    I'll follow the thread - may be someone will sugest something I did't tried.

    The problem must be of hardware, as mentioned. In my attempts I prepared the firmware for flashing by pre-boot removing rgn 0x0E (leaving only 0x0C and 0x7F). I also tried flashing the rgn 127 by the SD text command without success, nothing worked after many attempts. Then or I exchange the board or replace the EMMC chip
