Hi,

I turn on my Garmin Nuvi 205 and touch the screen does nothing.
After the initial warning/agreement screen goes away the map comes up,
but touching the screen does nothing. Yes, I've updated the
firmware. No, the screen lock switch is not on. Yes, I've tried
recalibrating the screen, but I can push those dots forever and it
never stops!

Any ideas?

1. Is there a hardware reset button or procedure? It's worth resetting
it to see if it helps.

2. Someone just this weekend, posting in a GPS newsgroup, managed to
disconnect the internal battery to cure a hardware problem.

I found it. See:

3. Send it in for repair.

4. Buy yourself a new GPS device.
