Having got another GS my Zumo is giving up the ghost. It acts as if the screen is being constantly pressed which has gone from irritating, when it was only briefly doing it and so still useable, to now happening all the time so it is unworkable. Is it time to park this one or has anyone experienced the same and managed to revive it? I've tried updating it but no joy.

If it is dead then I may be on the look out for a replacement if anyone has any Garmin at a sensible price?

Thanks.
 
You used to be able to buy replacement screens for the 550. Mines went the same, got fed up with the random screen activations so sold it for spares or repair.
 
Thanks - I've since found a thread on here. I may try that route although there is a big spread in screen prices so not sure which one exactly.....as well as varying sizes....

If anyone has changed theirs I'd appreciate any top tips.
 
Are you still looking to buy a secondhand 550?

If so, I can put you in touch with someone who, I think, is looking to sell theirs.
 
Possibly. Happy to chat to him if you can link us up?

Thanks.
 
PM me your name and email address, please.

I’ll send them to him and let you / him take it from there.

I replaced the screen and digitizer unit a few years ago its a tad fiddly getting the data cable back in but doable.The screen was around £30 at the time , they seem to be under £10 at the moment on ebay

 
be carefull when you order. there are 2 screen sizes measure yours first.
 
There are and going on advice I ended up with the wrong one so::

For sale - opened but unfitted replacement screen:
Item
New Garmin Zumo 400 450 500 550 LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer 76mm*63mm.

If anyone else can make use of it pm me. I'm after the bigger 79.3mmx 64.77mm!

You weren't Lee - I wasn't with mine so couldn't disassemble so went with the measurements of someone else from the same time.....pity!
