Welcome to the forum, try this first, before we look at other solutions like GarminCure3
1. Power off the unit.
2. HOLD down the power button and you will see "Pre Boot Mode" appear on the lower part of the display. KEEP HOLDING the power button down and the display will flicker, do this until the pre boot mode message disappears. This seems to take a long time (60 seconds at least).
3. Once the pre boot mode message disappears release the power button and your device will perform some activities to recover from the above problem.

How to unbrick a nüvi
Most likely your nüvi is now in a condition to be recognized by your computer. If it is known which file caused the nüvi to lock up, it can be removed now using Windows Explorer or similar application. If successful, continue with step 3. If not successful, backup important data (if any) and continue with step 2.

Screenshot what data you backed up before you formatted the internal storage and what folders are on the device ,look for garmindevice.xml ,
