Unable to perform hard reset on Montana 600

Postby fisheye888 » Tue Jun 13, 2017 6:24 pm

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
