does anyone know an easy way to repair the button, it's a stupid thing to cause a device to be thrown away
Also interested. The button on my 800 fell off completely, I have to use a key/ glasses to push the button on internally. Also, the SD slot is water damaged, so no maps. Will I upgrade? Ehhhhh, maybe in another 10,000km

Did you sort that? Kick up a fuss, it's a known issue and pile of shit.

Yeah, search the thread for my own 1000 button story.
They offered some ridic whole unit replacement price. There's 3d printed solutions online or DIY sugru type fixes too. I've just left mine as a turbo computer for now and turn it on with a pen.

My Edge 1000 has a damaged power button cover (the rubberised cover is torn) and I think Garmin will offer me a not-that-cheap out of warranty replacement. If I'm going to drop the best part of 200e on a device I may as well buy a new one.
Two things:
1 - does anyone know an easy way to repair the button, it's a stupid thing to cause a device to be thrown away
2 - Any thoughts about the 530/830/1030?
