If it is only the gasket ask garmin for a gasket replacement, since your unit is working. I will pay a gasket replacement if I were you. Because if you replace the entire unit it will cost you shipping to send them the unit. I think paying the gasket and shipping will be cheaper. My advice.

So I am not alone!!! This is exactly what i asked them ( an Oregon instead). Waiting there answer....

I tested my batteries and they show 2540 mAH after I discharged it with my charger. I know the issue with the full GPS almanac. The first day of the GPS was outside and ON for the night. SO I was sure that the Almanac was properly downloaded into the GPS. thank's for pointing it out.

I always check for new firmware. My first unit was at 2.6 before a sent it for repair. Problem confirm by Garmin technicien. Battery used: Maha Powerex 2700 NIMH with Maha charger 900. Unit set to Ni-MH battery type. Second Unit firmware 2.7 and returning as we speak to Garmin.

HI! First unit had battery problem. When using the unit for 3 to 5 hours and then turning it off, sometime it wasn't able to boot up has i tried to turn it back on. I saw Garmin screen then it fade away. Serial :169000xxx 98000 units later... Second unit date & time stop when unit turned off. I have to see the sky to have accurate date and time. If i turn it off at 2h00 pm for an hour then it show 2h00pm after I turn it back on. So the alarm screen is useless. Serial:169098xxx Am I the only one out there with so much problem with this Colorado Serie.

Try this: 1) Run the gps for 4 hours. 2) Take notee of battery meter. 3) Turn it off. 4) Turn it on. 5) Take not of battery meter. My unit would either not turn back on (after only 2 hours) or if it did turn back on, the battery meter would be low and I would lose backlight functionality even if I turned off backlight limiting (on version 2.4). Either my unit was bad or the Colorado does a poor job of interpreting the health of partially charged batteries when turning on. Got the exact same issue here Colorado 300

Do you know if Groundspeak are aware of that issue?

HI! I recently tried the new fonctionnality from Groundspeak "Upload Field Notes from your Garmin Colorado" Upload the file geocache_visits.txt from my Colorado The date I found the cache is not transfert properly when I click on "Post Log" It show the current date. It should be the date that a found the cache. Anyone experiencing the same issue?
