    Kunix, I guess you are asking me where I got the firmware from which caused the problem?
    I am unable to post links so will have to tell you where it is.
    GpsPasSion forum under:

    English Forums - Hardware
    Garmin nüvi forums
    Service firmware .rgn for nuvi 205w/255w/265w

    File name fw_nuvi2x5W_ID0827_en_v500+cure.rar
    Are you able to dissect and understand what may have happened from the file?

    Just to recap, it originally had v6.40 and I sucessfully flashed (holding top left corner of screen) to 6.10 and back to 6.40 before using the v5.00 cure, when it crashed. The original v6's showed the Garmin Logo first then brief white screen and reboot, now just white and for longer (logo bypassed maybe?).
    Haven't got any further yet but will try your suggestions in next few days.

    Does the SD card need any volume name, or best left blank? I will experiment with some options.

    More details in case you need them:
    Circuit board v3 code on board 105-01392-03, ID shown as NUVI 2 Series Software 6.40, no waypoints, tracks, almanacs nor routes.
    ID 827 (you already know). Do you need the Unit ID (10 digits)?
    Thanks again.
