Legend HCX dies when I connect to PC with USB

Hello,

I have just bought a Legend HCX updated the software versions to 2.60, and with new usb drivers. Next time when I connect to the pc the gps unit screen goes grey, and black lines appear until it shuts down.

Do any one know what to do?

Jorgen

Have you tried a reset on the unit, and a reboot on the computer? Let us know.

Does the unit work fine when not connected to the PC?

Try a hard reset on the GPS.

With the unit turned off, press and hold PAGE + Enter on the click stick. Then press and release the POWER. The unit will power up asking if you want to release all user data. Select yes, and the unit will be reset. After the master reset, place your unit outside, so that it has a clear view of the sky for 25 to 30 minutes for the unit to acquire new almanac data.

This will erase any data you have in it though.
