How to access Pre-Boot for car navigation series Nuvi:

Spoiler:

Note: To use Updater.exe in pre-boot you must have Garmin USB Drivers loaded to the PC.

Most nuvi models can be placed into pre-boot mode for flashing by starting with the unit fully OFF, simply holding the screen in the appropriate place [for most, but not all, that's the upper left corner] and then plugging the USB lead into the unit. Have the USB lead already connected to the PC [preferably a rear port] and updater.exe open ready loaded with the *.rgn file to flash. When the USB is connected, the unit will power up and immediately enter pre-boot.

If nuvi can boot, try to enter diagnostic mode by pressing battery icon for ~5 seconds and then connect USB cable to computer. It your unit can enter into 'pseudo' pre-boot that way it will hold pre-boot indefinitely without going to the white calibration screen which it will do if a flash isn't commenced quickly enough as in 'normal' pre-boot mode. Particularly handy with 7xx units which are notoriously stubborn about entering and holding pre-boot.
