I haven't a 520 so can't offer any tested advice, Have a look at this link.... If your last activity caused corruption this may be worth a read. http://forums.mtbr.com/gps-hrm-bike-computer/garmin-edge-520-a-980371-5.html

Try getting the unit in to mass storage mode by

plugging the unit into the usb port. Press and hold lap/reset while pressing the power button for about 5 seconds. The screen will go blank – let up on the power button at that time but keep holding lap/reset. This should force it to mass storage.

Once in mass storage mode delete the update file from the Edge

delete Garmin\gupdate.gcd
remove any files from the Garmin\NewFiles folder

Disconnect the Edge from the PC. Once it has successfully restarted try going back through the update process using Garmin Express.
