The touchscreen on my Garmin 2720 stopped working all of a sudden, and I have tried to do a master reset, but it still does't want to work. I can still use the remote control for it, but it is time consuming. Is there any way I can recalibrate the touchscreen with the remote? Or, is there anything else I can try without having to send it to Garmin?
Some where else in this site it said to hold the menu and map button while powering it on. I did that and it fixed my touchscreen problem, however I did loose all data, but I have that saved on my PC.

I found that my touchscreen stopped working after the unit heated up (in sun on dashboard)
When I turn the AC on high it cooled enough to work It also works first thing in the morning when it is still cool out
Unit is just over 2 years old Looks like that is the limit of its life based on what others are saying

I am having the same problem
Mine won't wok even with remote and can't reset either
I have the same problem...it seems to stop working when it has been inside the car during hot weather but then when the inside of the car cools off it still will not work. It has been working recently...very problematic...My remote works fine.
I also am having this problem. Called the manufacturer and was told since the one warranty was up, I had to pay a $300 flat fee to get it repaired. My remote works fine, but does not have full functionality. Is there any way to reset the touchscreen? Recalibraiting just brings up an error message.
Mine is having the same problem - but I have not tried the remote yet. I'll have to find it.
Screen stopped responding to touch. Remote control works fine. Any suggestions. Unit is about three years old. Tried starting holding down map and menu as suggested but did not work.
Having the same problem. Purchased the 2720 in 2006.
tryed to download update and lost the touchscreen on my 2720
I am having the same problem with the Garmin 2720! It started acting up at random approximately a year ago. I was able to recalibrate after numerous attempts. Now it just will not respond!
I received the same answer from Garmin, $250.00 for a completely refurbished unit.
The 2720 has been an excellent unit to this point!
My 2720 Touch Screen quit working.It had been in the house resting on a shelf for 3 months. When I put it in my truck the touch worked several times and then quit.
