It boots to the Garmin sign but locks up from there. I even bought a wall charger hoping to boost the battery level but no luck. Of course, I did the guy thing and never signed up the warranty and I bought off Ebay.

any ideas?

 

just call garmin and tell them your what is going on. When I updated my maps my garmin crashed and wouldn't load and I called and they fixed it for free. all I had to do is pay for shipping. worth a shot

 

did you try hooking it up to your compute had an issue where my garmin would reboot itself every ten minutes, and then just lock up after a while- plugged it into the software, and it seems to clear the issue up..
