Thread: Garmin nuvi 1490lmt stuck at splash screen. [Solved].

I ran the format program to the T and rebooted it. There are no files on the internal drive. I safely removed and disconnected the cable, powered the unit back on to see what it would do and it is still freezing at the splash screen. While it was still on, I reconnected it to the PC and looked to see if anything changed. The internal drive is still empty. No Garmin folder was created nor any .xml files. I went ahead and loaded Garmin Express which still says that my unit is up to date with the firmware even though nothing is showing on the internal drive. My "do not show hidden folders and system folders" option is disabled so I should be able to see any files that are hidden. I don't know what the deal is.
