[HOT] Problem with an Etrex 20

[Banick, Robert]

Hi Sebastian,

It certainly sounds like your USB Controller is dead, but here's a thought: Garmins can be finicky about the cables they're used with. Are you using the USB cable that came with the Etrex 20? If not then it might not recognize the device when plugged in.

Cheers,
Robert

Subject: [HOT] Problem with an Etrex 20

Greetings from Burundi,

we have an issue with one of the Etrex20 of the Eurosha Burundi team. It's not recognized by any computer.
When connected to the USB port, the device is powered through USB but doesn't enter mass storage mode. In the system setup menu, I can change the USB mode between "Garmin" and "mass storage" but computers won't recognize it in either mode.

I've tried on a Mac, Windows and linux. It doesn't show up in `lsusb`. The other etrex work just fine on these machines.

I've just realised that one of the working etrex prompts a message "usb cable detected. do you want to switch to mass storage mode" when in Garmin mode. The faulty etrex doesn't prompt such a message.

My diagnosis is that the USB controller is dead.

Any hope to access the data on the internal storage?

Help appreciated.
Cheers,
Seb.
