    Please detail how it was seen by PC. For example: By File Explorer (Mass Storage Mode), or in Device Manager (preboot mode), or by one of Garmin's programs like MapSource/BaseCamp, or ?

    8- garmin cure, updater.exe doesn't recognize the device usb port.
    Both pro-boot mode and Garmin USB Drivers loaded are required for that.

    9-no
    Are you sure pre-boot isn't available? Most devices which boot only to the logo still have preboot. If it was stuck on logo screen then it's easier to find and maintain preboot but devices which reach the logo then either turn off or attempt to re-boot are more difficult.

    The vast majority of devices which will turn on and show the logo even briefly can be recovered with persistence.

    Question

    Hi Everyone ! I'm totally new here.. but begging for help, i feel hopeless to throw away such an expensive device ...
    It's my first post, out of desperation :p!


    BMW NAVIGATOR V , Firmware version 3.5 , HWID 1451 .

    2) Why and how the device got bricked.
    Laptop battery died during a Garmin Express update...

    3) Symptoms: what's wrong in your device?

    Stuck on Loarding screen (but not even the "loading maps, just the BMW motorrad logo/garmin, with nothing else below it)
    Not recognized by PC
    4) Does your pc sees your device ?
    NO (Only in preboot in Device MNGR)
    5) List all the procedures you already tried to unbrick it and their results and errors messages obtained.
    Garmincure3 procedure (according to the tutorial) - Flashing Complete the cure(based on 3.5 Firmware from garmin) without any error, but the GPS doesn't go in Mass Storage Mode
    Quickcure3 - same

    Usb isn't flakky/badly connecting. it's really gps related only (It detect the pre boot fine)
    6) Do you have Garmin USB Drivers installed ? Garmin: USB Drivers Updates & Downloads
    Yes, and it's working properly on another unit.

    8) Write down if you already read or tried GarminCure3 tool - the new way to create cure firmwares for Garmin devices

    How to unbrick a nüvi - step by step guide
    Yes. as mentionned before
    9) Can you reach preboot mode? If no ,have you followed this? Garmin devices preboot mode
    I Can reach preboot mode.

    10) Probably no , but do you have NV backup?
    No, but i've got another device,same model on hands...
