Did you try shutting the computer down, plugging in the device and then rebooting?
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

Is it registered? I had the same problem with my Garmin navigator until I went to the actual Garmin website where my device is registered.

You try and reboot the Garmin?
Hold the power button down... it'll go off. Keep holding the button down until it restarts.

Called Garmin Tech support they are sending me a new Data transfer Data cord. Sounds like that,s the issue.

Loose connector on main board, apparently solder connections are baked and quite fragile. $89 for a re furbished unit or $119 for a new one. Found a place to re solder connections.
For $40 including shipping. Thats what I am going to do.
1 1/2 year old its a weak point reading the blogs.
