Hmm. Now that you've said it doesn't progress past the Garmin logo splash screen I'm wondering if you remembered to flash the original firmware back after formatting it with RMPrepUSB? If it still has cure fw loaded it can't boot past the splash screen by design.

Sorry this process is all very new to me and I'm suprised I've gotten to this stage with it.
It appears as though its just a empty space where I could place anything in it at this point.
OK well thats quite possible as I don't have the original firmaware and by original you mean the firmware that originally came with the unit.
If possible to get the original fw what do I use to flash it with and how?
Hope there is still a chance to bring it back to life.
Thanks again for taking the time to help a newbie with this.
Cheers
Jack
