Exact same procedure as what SKI friend did - IT WORKED!

Method to disassemble:
1. Remove the two small torx screws on the back of the unit (this is where you need your toolbox of everything!)
2. Run finger round edge, pulling the back off as you can. Try not to pull too hard (don't want to break it) and be aware that the battery and speaker are attached to the back (so don't yank it away when it finally comes off
3. Unplug battery
4. Leave for a second or two
5. Plug battery back in
6. Push back cover on
7. Replaces screws
8. ???
9. Update!

I can't see any warranty stickers, and the build quality is solid (nicely designed as well). So if you don't wanna wait 2 weeks for a warranty replacement (they're gonna do EXACTLY the same thing after shipping it to them), just try the method above. Try not to damage the case, but it *SHOULD* resurrect your device.

Note that this was on a 765T, although I think almost all the affected models are designed/built the same way]]>Jun 25th 2009 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/Jun 25th 2009 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/Jun 25th 2009 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/Jun 25th 2009 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/Jun 25th 2009 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/You guy rock!

775T Working again,

The catch is finding the little torx driver to open the case.

Thanks]]>Jun 25th 2009 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/Jun 25th 2009 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/Jun 26th 2009 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/Jun 26th 2009 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/]]>Jun 27th 2009 12:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/

I sent in only the unit (My instructions said to only send in the unit NOT all the accessories)

All in all - I think they were pretty quick. (Not I was going to dry and reset the battery myself, but could not get one of the two screws out - so had to send it in)]]>Jul 8th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/garmin-issues-patch-to-exorcise-brick-from-7x5-series-gps/Jul 27th 2009 8:06AM
