I downloaded, the latest software update to my C510, now it wont load up at all, all i get is loader loading, software loading, press dot, then again then again just going round in circles

It sounds like the device is hanging, which could be due to a bad download, etc. Try resetting it if you haven't already (page 22 of the manual; involves taking the face frame off). Hopefully you backed up any user data from it before.

Did you use Garmin's Webupdater or did you download and run the update manually? I've read horror stories of the webupdater rendering devices useless.

Try downloading the update file and run it without the webupdater. If it still doesn't work, and resetting didn't, you'll need to call Garmin I think.
