Certainly shouldn't take 5 minutes to load, but sometimes a fw update will just stall for no reason at times with other Garmin units i've found. Aborting when it hangs like that, resetting the unit and trying again will often work. Strange you don't have a reset hole. Downgrading fw on most units will force a reset, but that's maybe not going to be possible as these units cannot be connected to a PC to use Updater.exe and flash an RGN file. AFAIK they can only have firmware flashed with GCD file on the card. It may be possible to fool it by renaming the older firmware as an higher version than the current one but that's untested on GW personally so i don't know how it would react. What version are you running now on it?

I'm at 4.60 currently. As I stated, since I'm stuck at that point where my screen says "Loader" as indicated by the picture, nothing was ever altered and 4.60 is still active.
Is there any way to get a different copy? That copy could be corrupted. I tried downloading it twice AND renamed it "gupdate.gcd" instead of "gupdate4.70" or whatever it was before. I think you get the point!
Anyway, the file was placed on a blank memory card in the folder called "Garmin" just like the original one was at. All I can say is that my bike saw that file and attempted to open it. Obviously, nothing happened. It reached what the picture indicated immediately. No scrolling bar showing percentage done. Nothing! Just stopped!
