The actual answer is to press the dots, but use a dull plastic tool that fits "within" the dot. Otherwise the width of your finger is too imprecise to calibrate the dots and screen.
Hope you, and others, get this and try it. It works. I just discovered it and did it, successfully after only about 10 presses.

My nuvi 260w screen is black and "blinks garmin". If I touch the screen it does nothing but blink. Has anyone had this problem? Also, I have tried to hit reset and nothing happens.
SOURCE: screen went all white with 'press dot' on bottom
To fix the abnormal behavior of your Garmin Nuvi 255W, I recommend a hard reset and an update of your Nuvi 255W firmware.
I hope that helps.

I think that you will have to make a total reset in this unit to make it functional ..but keep in mind that this will erase all data on it and you will have to reconfigure it again ..
Here is the procedure ..I left it like it was in the tutorial cause one never knows exactly how it will behave ..and they have more than one way to do that ..I suggest that the last one will work ..
In the Quick Start Manual of Garmin Nuvi 255w GPS, it stated that you
can reset the unit by pressing the RESET button at its bottom. However,
the RESET button is not found in my Nuvi 255w.
Additional
information in the Owner's Manual stated that if RESET button is not
found, slide the POWER key and hold it for more than 8 seconds will do
the same, but I found out doing so will go to the touch screen
calibration utility instead.
Another section in the Owner's
Manual under the title "Clearing User Data" stated that holding your
finger on the lower-right corner of the screen while turning on the unit
and keeping the finger pressed until a message appear, that will allow
you to delete all user-entered information.
I tried it and a
message window pops up asking about "Do you really want to erase all
user data?". There are 2 buttons to select, Yes or No. If you want to
try this, make sure you've backup the data in your unit before answering
to Yes.

froze. I restarted it , now all I can get is a blank screen with a black dot in the bottom left corner and a message saying press dot. Holding the off switch over to the left makes it restart but still goes back to the same screen Is there any way I can fix this?
