I recently updated my Malfree map and use Basecamp to upload the base map to my Montana. The unit is now rendered non-operational and I cannot perform a hard reset as the screen turns off immediately upon turning on. Anyone can advise me what I should do. Thanks

remember to remove the SD card before reset
Garmin Montana 600 Factory Reset
There are a few instances in which it will be necessary to perform a master reset on the Montana, including the following:
Not receiving a satellite signal
Restoring the factory default settings
Not functioning properly
To perform the master reset:
1.Power Montana off
2.Press and hold finger on upper left side of display (can be done in portrait or landscape mode)
3.Power on device
4.Continue holding until the Do you really want to erase all user data? message appears
5.Release finger from upper left side of display
6.Touch Erase
Allow device up to 20 minutes to acquire satellite data with a clear view of sky
The Montana is now reset and ready for use.
