Rino 655t Repairs
i have a 655t that recently gave me a error msg, saying something to the effect that the radio interface information is missing, and then shut down. i was able to restart it several times by removing and reinstalling the battery, before that too stopped working. It will not turn on, and i am considering a replacement, but wonder if anyone can repair it?.

The "Radio Interface Information Missing" error message indicates that the Garmin Rino 655t is unable to communicate with the radio interface. This can be caused by a number of factors, including a hardware failure, a software glitch, or a problem with the antenna.
If you have tried removing and reinstalling the battery and the device still will not turn on, it is likely that there is a hardware failure. In this case, you will need to contact Garmin for support. Garmin may be able to repair the device, but it is also possible that you will need to replace it.
If you are considering a replacement, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, the Garmin Rino 655t is a discontinued model. This means that it may be difficult to find a new replacement device. Second, the Garmin Rino 655t is a high-end device, so it can be expensive.
If you are able to find a new replacement device, be sure to purchase it from a reputable retailer. You should also check the warranty information on the device before you purchase it.
If you are unable to find a new replacement device, you may want to consider purchasing a used Garmin Rino 655t. However, be sure to inspect the device carefully before you purchase it. Make sure that the device turns on and that there are no obvious signs of damage.
You should also ask the seller if the device has been repaired. If the device has been repaired, be sure to ask for more information about the repair.
Here are some additional tips:
Try cleaning the antenna connector on the device.
Try updating the firmware on the device.
Try resetting the device to factory defaults.
If you have tried all of the above and the problem persists, you will need to contact Garmin for support.
Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.

The error message that your Garmin Rino 655t is displaying seems to indicate a defect in the radio interface software.
Before completely giving up the device, consider updating the device software using Garmin Express, if you can still connect the device to a computer. You might also want to try a master reset but keep in mind this will erase all the data on your device.
If neither of these steps work or you can't turn it on at all, it would be a good idea to consider professional repair. Garmin offers a flat-rate repair fee for out-of-warranty devices. The cost depends on the model and the complexity of the repairs.
Another point to note is that often the cost of repairing older GPS models can approach or even exceed the price of a new unit with a full warranty. Therefore, buying a new one might be a good plan too.
Make sure to weigh all these options before making a decision.
