If it's disappeared that isn't the most troubling but if it's there i mostly need a copy of the XML from it too. Give me both in that case for comparison, just remember to remove the Unit ID.

There's more to try still and next i want to see if it can still both read commands from and write to the SD card as mentioned.... but before we try that it's ideal to know exactly what's in that XML file, the back-up one AND most importantly, the current one from the device.
The GarminDevice.xml file has "disappeared" when I formatted the drive with RMPrepUSB. I didn't find a way to upload the file here (it only accepts .png files), so, I am hereto sending the hyperlink from Wetransfer, so you could download the file.

I hope the problem is "soft", because the device didn't suffer any physical damage since I got it, and also, since I can manage to read-write the drive
Thanks
