Just fixed my bricked 765T by taking the back off, unplugging the battery, and plugging it back in. Device turned back on, then updated it using Garmin's WebUpdater.

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
See, this is why I run Linux, it's basically immune to... oh wait!
Yes, at 20,000rpm I'd say it can blend stuff.
OK, so Dolby TrueHD is a lossless compression format, which means it is going to sound the same as the 5.1 LPCM, Full stop.

The only reason they'd sound any different is if they used different sources, or have enabled Dynamic range Compression or Dialogue Normalization (which if they have shows they don't understand about the technologies).

Now assuming the producers aren't monkeys, neither DRC or DN are going to be applied, and the TrueHD is from the same recording as the LPCM, there is not going to be any difference whatsoever between the two.
*ahem* broadcast flag?
Oh come on, that's just not funny.
Vince, with all due respect, STFU!

Stop trolling and go play some Mac games, oh wait...
No offense AMD, but Intel have a serious lead at the moment. Come back when you've closed the gap a little...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
