I've used this for years and it's internals are still going strong, but the power button rubber cracked and fell away. I spent a few months turning it off and on by pushing a key or a stick in there, but now that's given way too. I've ordered a new one, but anyone handy is welcome to try and get this one working.

Def fixable as my 6 year old Edge 500 is on its second case for exactly this reason. First one I had in 2011 was replaced by Garmin for a ‘refurb’ which was actually brand new for £60 after 3 years and out of warranty.

Got salvaged case on eBay and swapped over innards and put a silicon case on it so rubber wont wear out ever again.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
