Hey all :)
A friend of mine made a humongous mistake. He tried to paste newer map to his Nuvi 1300, it said not enough space so he formatted. Indeed unwise, he knows.
At first he used FAT32 to format the system. OS booted up normally but wouldn't load the map..So he made several trial and error and eventually used NTFS format, which was utter disaster. Now computer won't even recognize the navi at all.
So, is there any way to undo this? At first I thought of disassemble the navi and take out the HDD, make a connection directly..But seems like it's almost impossible without damaging the product.
I heard that Garmin does remote repair service, but computer won't even recognize the system so..nay..
Should he contact Garmin customer service and ask for repair/replacement($99ish?)? Or is there any private shop that can do the same work and cost less?
I've never worked on navi, don't know what to do at this point..
Please let me know!!
Thank you :D
