I have had a Garmin eTrex Venture HC since December of 2007. My cats like pulling on the cable when I am transfering data from the computer to the unit and as can be expected the unit has hit the floor one time to many. Now the thumb stick/joy stick, what ever it is called has broken. I can only scroll up I think, no left/right/down. So I can not delete data points, select much. Can this be replaced or repaired? From Customer service with Garmin I can send it in and they will "replace" the unit or fix it for $79 bucks plus shipping both directions. I am looking for information on replacing the thumb stick, or the top cover of the unit.
Anyone have a unit that has the electronics fried or the back case broken, missing the back battery cover, broken battery contacts etc. ??
Don't even care what color it is, mine is the yellow one, I just want to get this back to working better than what I have now...
