Go 950 shutdown

[JungleJim13]

I've had this unit for many years and it has been totally reliable. I've just downloaded the latest update. When I unplugged from the computer, I was asked for my passcode. For some reason I put in the wrong one. Now, when I switch the unit on, the driving advice comes on. When that disappears and the screen pops up for me to enter my code. Before I can do this, the machine shuts down. I've tried this several times. I do rely on this unit, so any advice would be very gratefully received. Thanks.

Try a drum reset on the unit by holding the power button about 20 seconds till you hear the drum sounds unless your model has a dedicated reset hole. Also, what update did you install?

Try doing the process with the device connected to the computer.

Thanks for this. I seem to be in a worse state now because when I switch on whilst connected to the computer, the computer image comes up with its red cross and then the unit switches off within 5 seconds. I tried the reset hole - no joy. By the way, the unit is a GO 910, not 950. In its present state, if I buy a new unit from a retailer, will they be able to transfer the stuff I have on it? Thanks again.

No, not the map you have.

If you connect to Home, does it offer an application for your device?

On the other hand, most devices now come with Lifetime maps so that would be a small loss.
