Hello folks and Happy Newyear.
Sorry to bump into this thread, but i THINK i have the same problem as Amos1.gif ":supercry:")
I have been reading this whole thread 3-4 times, and finding it very confusing.
What I can say about the device is, its a Nuvi 1490 from Europe with lifetime maps.
Got it from a freind who says "just wont turn on anymore"
But it will turn on, but wont go pass the boot/Garmin screen.
It seems to me it dosent load software or maps, just showing the Garmin logo.
Also my computer cant "see" the device.
The ONLY thing i have tried for now, is pre boot mode, and if WebUpdater is running
it can "see" the 1490 but i cant reinstall firmware this way, it gives me an error.
So before i do anything else, i would like some advice or solution to this problem.
I have tried to work with RGN_Tool.exe and Updater.exe before some month ago,
to enable all features on a Nuvi 3760T, but i am not at all professional in this business.
One more thing, i have another 1490 with broken screen, so was thinking about
changing the screen, but this one dont have lifetime maps
