    Default 1450 LMT cant connect to PC after tried methods in tutorial

    Hi I have a 1450 LMT, I found it no longer shows FM traffic so I want to reinstall everything, but so far I have tried actions below, but it still cant connect to PC

    install communicator plugin
    install GPS USB driver
    connect to PC during preboot mode
    see nothing in my computer's device manager/disk management

    PS: I've tried above methods in win7 64 and win XP

    So now I really dont know what I can do...

    any suggestions?

    Are you trying to access the internal flash drive of your nuvi?
    What does your nuvi display when you try to do it?

    hi catymag,

    I tried this cure as well, however because the PC doesnt even find any thing when I plugin the nuvi with USB (I am using the USB cable come with the GPS), so I cant flash anything into the GPS

    yes, I am trying to access the internal flash drive (I assume its the same as letting PC find out this device)

    whenver I plug in with USB, it just turn on the GPS in charging mode

    This looks like a hardware problem. In particular, your USB cable is detected as a charger. This detect is performed by measuring the resistance between pins 4 and 5 of the mini-USB connector.
    Maybe there is a parasite resistance in the mini-USB hub, so try cleaning it.
    Maybe your USB cable is bad.

    Hi I tried with blowing with compressed air, but still nothing changed..
    Would this be a hardware problem?
