The LCD screens on my two eTrex Legends have died after something like 18000 logged miles and six years. Over the years I've dissassembled the units three times and successfully fixed the problem by cleaning the contacts on the flexible LCD connector, but this time I was unsuccessful and it is becoming a PITA. The screens blank out to just a vertical line after the units are on for 5 minutes or so.
Anyone have anything (preferably newer,maybe hcx) that I can replace one or both of these units with, please drop me a line. It would be nice to have another Garmin unit to reduce the slope of the learning curve, and it would be really cool to have removable storage, but I am open to all offers. At this point in my life I do not have a whole helluva lot of cash to throw to a big box store, so Panther in the Den suggested that I make a plea here.
On a related note, how the hell do contacts in a sealed unit get dirty?
Any advice/offers are welcome.
Stay cool!

I had a cache up the mountain into the local forest and placed it in a ammo can then cable locked it to a tree. This cache was in a place that would never be found unless you were looking for it. I went to check up on it one afternoon and found a tree stump and the ammo can upon it with the cable lock still on the container but not on a tree. After looking in the cache at the log I found the following entry.
Found cache, singed log Took tree and left cache. sorry it is a forest service project, tree had to go.
My friend and I were very amused at this log.
