1. im having the same problem....
2. Here's a MANUAL approach that is on the web that will update and fix the problem. Magellan says an updated fix will be posted soon. I tried it and it worked for me - no promise, but check it out: 1. Unzip downloaded file 2. Use WinRAR to extract the executeable (they will all be in a file) 3. Create USBTRANS file in SYS folder on unit (or copy the backup that was made on the SD card) 4. Copy contents of COPY_GROUP 1, 11, 13, 17 to SYS/USBTRANS 5. Copy contents of COPY_GROUP 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 to MAP 6. Copy contents of COPY_GROUP 4, 6, 12, 14, 15 to APP (NOTE: in order to copy over group 14, you will need to copy the contents of TNShell_Bitmap\Venus2 to the same folder on the unit, that way the folder isn't just replaced) 7. Copy contents of COPY_GROUP 9 and 10 to SD card 8. Copy contents of COPY_GROUP 16 to USR 9. Once copied over, unplug the unit and it should reset itself. Then all should be working DON'T FORGET to put in the UNIT_ID.DAT file back in the USBTRANS folder if you haven't already.
3. I just tried to update my 3100 but the update failed and it quit working. I followed the steps in Anthony's posting and now it works again. I used the regular WinZip rather than WinRAR to unpack the files in the self-extracting executable.
