Hey everyone,

More drama with my START 25.

I plugged it in today to update to the 1040 maps via MDC - this device has 'lifetime' updates. Sure enough, once connected - it showed three updates, the NZ map, the AU map and I think the quick GPS. Now before I could select and start the update, the update automatically started, then failed midway (starting the device had disconnected) and the START 25 went blank.

That's it. It has been blank since. No matter how long I hold the power button, no drumroll.

Just an extra bit of info -immediately before plugging in the START 25, I was updating a START 60 which was acting up somewhat. So I am suspecting that a cache stored update for that device was forced onto this one? Sounds wrong but who knows.

What I do know is that the START 25 won't start anymore.

Ideas, guys? This is a trusty device in our second car and I do want to bring it back to life.
