Fixing a cracked Garmin screen

Dropped my Garmin from around 2ft in the air on the floor of my hallway and cracked the screen.

My experience with contacting Garmin is that they offer you money off a new one, rather than attempt to fix it.

Anyone had any success in getting the screen fixed?

(I don't want to DIY it, I have the patience/manual dexterity of a gorilla)

Epic dredge, but I just did a case replacement on my own garmin, which is essentially the same steps as a screen replacement, just swapping a different part. If you have this broken garmin in a drawer somewhere I could have a crack at it.

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.
