so i need sistem files firmware to instal again if you can find for me, tx
If your nuvi will no longer boot into mass storage mode, you will need to research and learn to use preboot mode and the Cure3 software. You can Google these terms to find more information. If you can get the firmware installed using these methods, you should be able to reinstall the map and most other files with Garmin Express (since you have a LM model with lifetime map updates). There may still be some missing files after doing all this, but the nuvi should boot and operate. If you know someone with the exact same model as your Garmin, you can retrieve the other missing files from their unit.
This process is very complex, so proceed only if you are willing to accept the risk. Some people can make it work and get their nuvi completely operational again. Others are never able to make it work and end up with a totally useless device that can't be repaired.
I agree, Garmin Express would be the first step, which is what I suggested above. However the OP has not indicated whether he tried this.
If I recall, you gave a method in another post that would sometimes allow the nuvi to boot when it hangs or shuts down on boot up. I don't remember which post it was or exactly what the method was, but maybe that would be of use in this situation.
But you are right, I think because of the language translation in the OP's first post, we don't have complete information about what the symptoms are or what he has tried to do to recover. So hopefully he will come back and give us some more details.
