5) List all the procedures you already tried to unbrick it and their results and errors messages obtained.
-I've tried webupdater in preboot mode. Error message: 'update is damaged' (sorry not sure on the exacte message, this is translated), when trying again it shows device is not responding.
-I've tried GarminCure, both Cure and Original > Updater. it instantly goes to 100%. After a while it shows a generic error: 'There is a problem with this Garmin Application'. The error messages doesn't look important. The device stays recognizable. Upon trying flash again it says the version is the same, yes, utility disappears after a few seconds.
-I've tried formatting it, but as soon as the device enters mass storage mode the utility is 'not responding', same goes for explorer in general if I try to open the garmin's storage.
-Master reset, freezes after pressing 'yes', shuts off after 10s or so.
-Self test freezes and shuts off after 25s or so. RAM passes but ROM is still at WAIT.
I suspect there is either something with ROM or I/O. In that case, should I blast it with a Hot air rework station?
