Thread: IMPORTANT! If you want HELP in case of a bricked Garmin device, please follow this

The device boot cycles constantly terminating and re-starting over and over when connected to a power supply (PC USB or a charger) and tries to boot only one time if stays on its battery, I have to press the power button to power it on. And yes, I meant Updater.exe reported that the flash was successful. The device message is first "Loader" followed by "Software Loading", I guess these are standard messages during updating procedure, either Garmin Express or Updater.exe is used.

Could that be a hardware failure, maybe the internal flash memory is damaged or something?
