The only thing it will do is direct me home. I can't type in any other adress- if I type a t, it come up as an f. It will not allow me to scroll down through favourites. Nothing happens if I touch the little "wrench". It seems to be locked, but it says the "Safe mode" is off. I have tried following the "reset' instructions, but nothing changes. It is a nuvi 4.3. The unit ID is 3374771580
Pls try a hard reset as explained here. "a hard reset in the Maintenance mode one can by pressing down on the top left corner of the Nuvi's screen while turning it on. This brings up the "Pre-Boot Mode". Keep pressing the left corner until the dialog box comes up asking you if want to go into Maintenance Mode, then press "Yes". One of the options is "Clear Waypoints". This will reset the unit back to factory conditions."
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

In some versions, the reset button is tucked away in the bottom-right corner (just to the right of the white barcode sticker).
Of course reset not only will revert the unit back to factory default but would also delete most if not all user settings and configurations.

HI,
To turn on the safe mode you can switch the "Garmin Lock" on or off.
Alright then try reinstalling your battery.After you recharge it.Remove the battery and insert it again.
Ok.If this is still under warranty then getting it repaired is the best bet.
