I would check the GPS connections. If the unit does not see the GPS, bad reciever or loses connections it will not open the GPS Views.

Were you trying to take a Screen Capture? or Do you have Screen Capture on when trying to hit Mark which the unit uses to save Screen Captures. Try going to Acessory Menu and turning Screen Capture off then the Mark button saves just a waypoint and does not attempt to save a Screen Capture to the SD Card.

Have you zoomed in and out for maps data level? Sound like GPS is working if you have the maps up.
