I'm unsure why you think the nuvi 58 is 'bricked'. You said it it works...right? So i'm guessing you mean it turns on, boots up and navigates normally. What i think you're meaning is that it doesn't have normal communication with a computer and can't be seen in Mass Storage Mode by Windows Explorer or GarminExpress, correct?
When a device is (soft) bricked, it certainly means that MSM is unavailable however additionally it doesn't boot up when powered on. Typically either freezing on the logo splash screen, bootlooping or turning itself off before booting fully.
So it may be that the USB connection is not good. Garmin devices (including and particularly nuvi 5x series) do have a weakness in the USB socket mounting which results in the soldered connections to the PCB cracking - the result being that either data connection or charging ability or even sometimes both of those functions are lost. Try connecting to PC and then gently move the plug connection in the device's socket to see if it's recognized. If it's only a loose socket it's not a difficult task to reflow the USB socket connections. There are plenty of YouTube videos on how to do that.

I've tried everything. It's not the cable, it's not the USB port, since I connected others with the same cable and to the same USB port, I tried to move the cable and the socket, but nothing else. when I connect it to the computer, it goes into computer mode and after 15 seconds it ejects and boots the system.
When it comes out of computer mode, there is a lightning symbol on the battery symbol, but then it changes to an exclamation point.
The socket of the device on the charger works normally without interruption, and the lightning symbol is constantly on.Last edited by diversola; 17th October 2023 at 01:21 AM.
