    My laptop is working fine. I was referring to connecting the USB cable with the Garmin device on the other end. I've tried reinstalling drivers and also tested it on another computer with Windows 7, 10, and 11. None of the computers recognize the navigation or Garmin Express. I even tried with a different cable. It's frustrating... Where can I find the content of the microSD card that I could clone onto my empty card? Thank you for your response Garman_Nuvi

    Often the USB socket gets damaged or the contacts on the PCB break away which [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] ,if that is the case it can be worth trying to plug the device in to your laptop and manipulate the micro USB plug gently while it is in the socket of the device to make connection.
    Please confirm this device has Lifetime map updates & currently has old maps for the region you want on it or else it is going to be a waste of time.

    Substitute your device ID in the garmindevice.xml

    Then place on a clean/empty FAT 32 formatted SD card in a folder called Garmin.
    Use Garmin Express to update the maps on this clone of your device.(I used the example of Central Europe )
