Ysterman Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Just took an Edge 705 to Garmin to replace the screen ... easy peasy I thought, had a couple of scratches that made it difficult to read some info ... "Sorry Sir, we don’t replace the screen, but we can offer you replacement unit ..." Various reasons that sounded like excuses. I cant believe this - can this be true that they don’t replace the screen? If it is, I'm not getting one ...
b-unit Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Ag no.I want to get a 800 in the next few days but comments like these put me off. How can there be so little (read: no) competition for cycling GPSs?
rouxtjie Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Yster, aren't those sealed units therefore they cannot replace any components, I know with the 305 it is the case... Hint hint...why not ask for an upgrade to a 800 and pay a small amount in...if you can convince them of course

I was so revved up already when I walked in there ... didn’t think of asking ... It could be a sealed unit - but what do one do when something brakes from a fall etc. Cant buy a replacement unit every time, and yes, if its the same with the 800 that has touch screen ... what then?
Dirty Twin Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 For a moment i thought this was another topic on U2......phew.

Mine is specified under extras on my insurance policy...so maybe that it is the best bet...insure
Sawdust Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Stick some VPS film on your next 705 screen. Then you can wipe the mud off without scratching the screen. Not sure if it will work on a touch screen though.
