Factory reset freezes in hp loading screen

why not ask < HP>>>>???
its old, almost nobody uses these now....
are you going to spend money on this thing?

why change the BIOS? ROM best is not to unless you know
the BIOS update fixes a known issue you have, no issues stated.

If your nuvi series device is freezing on the map screen but still providing voice prompts there are two steps you can try to resolve the issue including updating the software using WebUpdater* and performing a master reset.

To download WebUpdater and update the software:

1. Go to http://www8.garmin.com/products/webupdater/howtoinstall.jsp
   
2. Follow the on screen instructions.
   

To perform a master reset on your nuvi series device: CLICK HERE

Warning: A master reset will erase all waypoints or favorites and will restore your unit to the default factory settings.

When the HP screen appears, press F11 repeatedly and see if it starts to boot the recovery utility. If it does, then recover the system to a time before the problem. If it does not you will have to contact HP for a factory reset disc.

A factory reset erases all user-installed settings, programs, and data, and restores your HP iPAQ to factory settings.
CAUTION All user-installed settings, programs, and data are erased from memory with a factory reset.
To perform a factory reset and return your HP iPAQ to factory settings:

1. Press and hold the OK and Rotate Screen buttons.
2. While holding these buttons, use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button on the HP iPAQ until the device restarts.
3. When the HP iPAQ restarts, release all of the buttons, and then remove the stylus from the Reset button.

The HP iPAQ will now restart and power on.

If you have done the above and still no go. Then your main drive has probably failed.

try doing a factory reset but be warned resetting it deletes all data and restores it back to factory default this should correct the software glich that is causing your ps3 to freez or lock up

1. Power Off the PS3 via the power switch in back and power back on w/switch.

2. Hold Power Button on the Front until you hear 3 beeps.

3. Then go through the initial setup and then run a full Format via System > Format.. You may need to have our AV cables ready if your using HDMI (in case HDMI isn’t detected after initial reset

type 2945#*# and a engineering menu will appear,select factory reset and may your problem will be solved,try other features appearing on engineering menu.

Hopefully you can do a warranty repair, I'm pretty sure the main board is damaged since a hard reset should have taken you back to the factory defaults.

Suggest reseting to factory settings.Hard reset..as per your manual.if no manual download one at factory web site.RICHARDM69
