can this be repaired?

The power socket into my GPS broke today, does anyone know if I can buy a new one and fit it or is it beyond repair?

Garmin have an excellent customer returns/care department. Email or phone them. Then let us know how you got on?

Have a word with this chap;

Sounderparts

His name is David Redhouse, also as said the other option is a very neat hard wired job, though it would not then be demountable.

I would definitely make a call to Garmin.

I dropped one of my units and broke the screen - it was well out of warranty sent it off to garmin and they advised they couldn't repair as no longer had the parts.

However they offered me a brand new replacement, of the updated model for a fraction of the new cost, which I snapped up!

Just to let you know, I contacted Garmin and they will exchange the GPS for a new one, with 12 months warranty for 66 pounds, incl postage, how's that for service. That unit was on the boat when I bought it over three years ago so was well out of warranty. It wouldnt pay to try to have it repaired as it probably cost a lot more. Great service from Garmin, I would have no hesitation buying one of their products considering the after sales service.

Another good result!
