    Hello

    I have garmin foretrex 401.
    When i turn it on i have only orange screen, no data on it.
    When i connmect it to pc, pc recognize it and webupdater say that latest FW is instaled.

    I look in garmindevice.xml and see that is installed version 3.20, but on garmin server latest is 2.60 ???????

    This unit have 4Mb internal memory.

    I don't know what is wrong with this unit becouse when i press button i hear beep but screen is orange colour and no data on screen.

    The oldest good trick for this series to install weak batteries and wait for full discharge till device will be turn off!

    If it is not work it is mean you have not oldschool foretrex 401 with ID 006-B1021-00 and 006-B1020-00. I did not read your first post with big passion because for oldschool foretrex it was the first step for repair to do "non-volume reset" with batteries trick. Now I have read the post and my ruined brain say me what no masstorage and so garmindevice.xml in this devices.
    What ID do you have for your unprecedented animal?
