Garmin Nuvi 2599 Has an Unresponsive Touch Screen

To perform a soft reset on a Garmin Nuvi 2599, power the device off by holding the power button, then press and hold the power button again until it turns on. The device should then restart itself. This is different from a factory reset, which erases all user data.

Buildup on the screen of the device can cause issues with the screens response to touch. Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to clean the screen. Avoid using harsh chemicals like ammonia.

If the screen is still not working, try a manual calibration. Turn the device off, then press and hold the power button until the "Press dot" message appears. Touch each dot as it appears to complete the calibration.
