Ok - say
"No i can't - hope that helps"
I dropped me Sat nav - screen not physically cracked but visually half the screen aint working (can't see it)
BUT all the functions - even the buttons that cannot be seen are working.
Maps load - voice still caresses me to the destinations.
So i ask thee - can it be saved - can Garmin replace the screen?

Thank you Joe 
I've messaged Garmin
Shup you !!!
Found a national fixer that has a local shop

Listen GJ - i thought the same . . . . til you try it.
It frees you up to relish the journey - enjoy the sites and sounds while a proper little madam voice thingy commands you towards arousal.
Viola - you're at your destination and thoroughly bossed to boot

Yes, the screen can be replaced, but it is usually more expensive than buying a new one.
If you feel like trying it yourself, check out ebay for replacement screens, then hunt for a tear-down to help you.
I would wager its cheaper and less time consuming to get a new one. Most mobile phones can be used as sat navs these days. I use my Samsung Galaxy S3 for my travels.
At the time mine cost ÂĢ99 - i think

Je doesn't, no
Screens are on Ebay for ÂĢ20
Personally, for ÂĢ20 I would give it a go at replacing the screen. The caveat being that I can find a tear-down so that I know what to unplug and what to unscrew or you could be left with a few spare parts 
Let us know what you do and if you do try replacing how it went (with pictures)

Have a go at replacing it yourself rather than paying someone else? There's bound to be demonstration videos online to show you what to do.
I've replaced several laptop and netbook screens myself and saved a fortune.
. . . so i'm passing my Garmin onto Roger

It'll cost ya! My expertise don't come cheap 
No freebies, sorry 
I have wigs, outfits and booze to buy!!!
Do you think you could replace the screen yourself Saint?
no
no
In that case I would not try or you could be ÂĢ20 out of pocket.
What's the plan then?
The plan - should i wish to accept it - is . . .
Try to find a cheaper repair
or
Buy one from Ebay - already bookmarked one on offer for ÂĢ30

You can list your device on ebay as working with faulty screen. Some people look out for devices they can repair and sell on. You may get some cash back. Definitely worth a go.
Yeah i thought about that
Will keep ya posted
"Completely smashed to shit Garmin Nuvi for sale.
Dropped on the kitchen floor with a horrific bang.
Christ knows what's gone wrong with it.

You sure? There are loads of instructional videos on Youtube.

It looks v. simple and similar to replacing a netbook screen.
Bet you anything you can do it Saint 
I'm kackhanded and even I could do it.

I repaired a bathroom tap which was not letting much water out using an instructional video on YouTube. I was well chuffed when it all worked. Cost of a plumber would have been a fair bit I imagine.
