Since this Garmin has a backlit "TFT" liquid crystal display (exactly the same as a laptop PC) with a "CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent light), I would suspect that the 'inverter' that powers the CCFL is failing after starting up. Could be the CCFL itself, too. I've had them go bad in laptop PC displays and act exactly the same way.

Because these displays need to work in pretty bright light, they drive the CCFL pretty hard, and I would not be surprised if it has died. If it is just the CCFL, they normally cost about $10 or so (part cost). Same for the inverter, but it may be a bit more difficult to find a replacement part.
