Re: problem with gps-garmin152

Oooops!. Sorry, Shep. I deleted the other one before I read this one. :(

This is what it said: "recently installed a garmin 152 gps.(unit was purchased in 2003,but never installed until now)after initializing unit and programming some waypoints,the screen went blank except for a thin horizontal line.could not shut unit down and no commands would work.i had to shut off pwr.to unit and re-boot it.it starts up fine ,but goes blank in just a few minutes.i was told that i need to up grade the units software. ( because of age)does anyone know the procedure to do this?
thanks for your help."


Who told you that you need to update the software? I doubt that it was Garmin Tech Support.

Talk to Garmin. My guess is that you can send it to them and get it back workng.

Good move. Garmin's customer Support isn't rated superior for nothing. :)
