zumo 660 damaged screen

[UturnTony]

i have managed to crack the screen on my unit

it still works but some areas of the screen don't react to touch.
can i buy and fit a new screen myself i ask?

cheers

contact garmin, see what price they quote for the fix...might be viable rather than faff about with it yourself, unless you are an electronics expert used to dismantling gizmos....in which case you would know the answer to your question already, wouldnt you?

I'd leave the job to Garmin.

With that decision made - I would send it back without asking what the cost will be.

I think there is more chance of a free repair - than them ripping you off with an unnecessary cost.

Standard exchange repair is around £125 from Garmin

Wise words John -how are you keeping?

There is a thread on http://www.advrider.com/forums/ about replacing Zumo screens, but it is way beyond my skill level. But if you have the skills, the cost is tiny. Make a mistake, however ....

There's probably half-a-million threads on Advrider. Shame you didn't post a more precise link!

thank's all for the responses.
it looks as though at the end of the day i should place the Zumo in the hands of Garmin and trust they will give me value for money and peace of mind that the job will be reet

These instructions from Advrider, found by search on "zumo+screen+repair", are for a 550, but they give you the idea:

Well beyond my competence, as I tend to break fiddly things

just back off holiday and the box from garmin was waiting for me.
opened it up to be greeted with the sight of a new (recon.) garmin in the box with all the kit, ie. car and bike mounts, cables, chargers in fact the whole shooting match and 2012 maps to boot (the broken one had 2010 mapping).
the thing is that the new one is the 660LM with the lifetime maps (not sure at this point if that is available to me) so all in all 135 quid for a new unit with all the stuff can't be bad, well done Garmin
