Hi folks,
I'm hoping someone out there knows Garmin. Weird thing happened. I put in the card to update the nav data. Got the standard message, do you want to update, said yes and the system installed the latest update. Then the screen dimmed to dark. The home light remains on, the direct light is lit. The radio works fine (except I can't change the frequency because I can't see anything). The rest of the screen remains black.
I had seen this happen a couple of times after turning the power off and on too frequently in ground checks. Always worked fine the next time I came back. I returned a couple of days later and still no visible data. When I power up, I get the Garmin on the screen. This dims to dark and that's the last I see. A friend suggested it was the auto dim so I tried a flashlight on the sensor, no change.
Any ideas on where to proceed from here?
