Start-up loop For some reason whenever I turn the unit on the main screen that says streetpilot comes on then the saftey warning not to use it while driving then when you click ok it goes back to streetpilot 2620 and keeps making the same circle. Is there any way to reset the unit. I know by holding down certain buttons while turning the unit on you get different screens is there any way of making it read and display maps again

Hold down PAGE, MENU, and FIND then turn unit on to perform a Master Reset. That might do the trick. There are some other undocumented features you might be interested in available here: http://home.socal.rr.com/diverhank/SP26X0UndocumentedFeatures.htm#_Toc144991134 That site also has links to manuals, if you need them.

I have a toshiba satellite L445D-S5976 and I am experiencing the black screen but this is different from most of the problems I've seen on here, whenever I try to turn it on the fans start up fast then...

hey.. Well this is one of 2 problems, More than likely the BackLight on your screen is dead. Dont worry that's a common problem and the fix basically is to replace the screen. You can order the screen online and then simply remove the old one from the housing by first removing the rubber plugs then the screws hidden under the plus. lift the lid off and unscrew and replace the screen. The reason why the monitor may not be turning on is because you need to switch the primary display. If you look carefully at the keyboard you will notice that there a key written Fn usually in blue, Thats the function key. There will be another key with a blue Monitor symbol usually f8 (may not be the same on yours). you hold Fn and press that key to enable the external Monitor.

If you were doing that then this is the reason for your problem. THE GPU (graphics processing Unit ) usually called the graphics card is Damaged. unfortunately yours is built onto the ma board which means to fix this you have to replace the entire board. But thats a very very rare issue. I'm betting that the First (above) one i mentioned about the Back Light is the reason for your problem..

Becuase the fan turn on loud and then settles down it means the main board is functioning properly ad the system is booting its just that you cant see it because of the back light and not switching the display unit.

Why does my c340 keep losing satellite reception

Hello there:
please follow these instruction and this should help if not let me know and i willcontinue to get you more information for you
nstructions

Step 1 Calibrate the screen of the Garmin StreetPilot C340. If the touch screen does not seem to respond when you hit it with your finger or a stylus, you may need to calibrate it. To do this, turn the unit off and then hold down the "Power" key for approximately one minute. You will see a calibration screen come up that will recalibrate the GPS unit.
Step 2 Reset the Garmin StreetPilot C340. If your GPS unit is not responding or is stuck on a particular screen, it may need to be reset in order to operate. To reset, remove the face plate of the unit by gently prying it off. Locate the "Reset" button under the face plate and press down in order to restart the device.
Step 3 Change the fuse of the Garmin StreetPilot C340. If the fuse blows on the GPS, you will need to make a replacement using an ACG/3AG 2 amp fuse. Unscrew the adapter cord at the end and remove the fuse found there. Put in the new fuse to see if this returns function to the unit.
Step 4 Update the software for your Garmin StreetPilot C340. If the GPS is not providing you with correct directional information, you may need to update the software or download new maps onto the device. Connect the Garmin StreetPilot C340 with the USB cord to your PC and log on the Garmin website for available updates.

The garmin 2620 will not load maps

You are caught in a loop most likely caused by a failed microdrive. Search Garmin 2620 cornice for a thread that is likely to provide the information about the failure you are experiencing. In short, if it is the Cornice drive that has failed you will find it very difficult to repair, if not impossible depending on your level of expertise and ability to find a used part for repair as the drives needed are no longer manufactured or readily available.

Most likely your hard drive is gone bad. Push "menu+find" buttons then turn on, you will get diagnostic screen, it will show if your cornice drive is bad. It will say"Cornice Dive removed"
