Etrex Legend Troubles


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 1-yr old Legend and tonight the display started flipping out on me... crazy horizontal lines, etc. Can cure the problem temporarily by tapping ont the display.

 

Anyone seen this? Anyone have a cure?

Yes, unfortunately this is a fairly common problem. It's caused by bad connections of the ribbon cable that connects the display to the main circuit board. A detailed description of a repair technique was posted in a previous thread and should be searchable. But if your Legend is still close to the one-year warranty it's worth giving Garmin a call and seeing if they'll fix/replace it for you. They have been known to extend the warranty period in some cases.
