Reply With QuoteI would like to note the following:
In many descriptions it says that you should hold a finger on a certain, device-dependent position of the display and then start the device to reach the pre-boot mode.
With my device 2599LMT-D this is different.
If I hold my finger in the upper left corner of the device and then start the device automatically by connecting it to the PC via USB cable, nothing happens.
I have to connect the device via USB cable to the PC, wait until the Garmin lettering appears, and only then put my finger on the upper left corner of the display (directly above the "G" from Garmin works too, by the way!) and hold it there.
Have others also observed this as well?

I had this - my 2599LMT-D has gotten "soft" (I hope) bricked. By doing as you said I finally got the connection "noise" and at the same time the word "SYSTEM" appeared above the Garmin logo and scrolled down for a short time (the first time, it then changed after a few seconds to "LOADING") - and I managed to get a reasonable message (Unit ID redacted) of:

General rule of thumb:

A unit is hard-bricked if the boot-loader cannot be activated, or if it totally is non-responsive.
