This is reason why you can't find PCB number:

Yes, i wasn't searching in unicode in those. Search was for 105- [31 30 35 2D], but gets naught for me.

Found out why the unicode search works in the fw_all.bin extracted from 2x5 MTK, I had 2 copies of the .gcd file in separate folders. The first copy nuvi2x5_GCDFile-MTK__760.gcd was corrupted. Extracted fw_all.bin worked ok because it was from the good second copy:



nuvi2x5_GCDFile-MTK__760.gcd 2nd copy works fine too:



So one mystery solved [operator error]. Now for the remaining puzzle. I'm sure this will turn out to be my stuff-up too:

OK, i am just not getting this at all [yet]. Loly, are you saying i should be searching in plain text for XBLKS rather than 105- ? This is what i get for XBLKS, 2 hits only and the second screen [Find Again Down] doesn't look like your 2nd result. My 3rd screen is further attempt for 'Find Again Down' - no result:







Same result in HexCmp with 58 42 4C 4B 53:



Can someone try to replicate my results in XVI32 or HexCmp? Or can you tell me what program you're using in the screenshots shown in your last post Loly?

@All
I seem to have highjacked the thread for what has essentially degenerated into a personal hex tut for me, i didn't intend for that to occur. I really appreciate your patient attempts to help me find my mistakes in this. Apologies for being such a dopey noob ..... Caty, if you want me to spin this off into a Discussions thread let me know, or you just do it. Otherwise i can do some 'cleaning' once the penny drops for me and the light comes on
Probably easier for you guys to train a how to do this. Sorry!
