I Need A Dead Or Broken Etrex Please!

[tykesplace]

I have an eTrex vista. The zoom in button stopped working. I took the thing apart and found out that the rubber button presses on a little plastic button in the case. The plastic button broke. Inserting a small wire into the spot where the button was I was able to press the internal button so the connection is still working. I just can't use it. So does anyone have, or know someone that has, an eTrex for parts? Any condition. Even smashed by a truck. All I need is the button or the board its connected to. I think any eTrex unit would have the same button. I've searched A LOT and can't find any parts suppliers or anyone listing one as dead. Garmin's after warranty repair is not an option. Too much $$$.

I can't find any way zoom in on the map without that button. If anyone has an idea how to do that, I could get by. I set the zoom to 2 miles before I put it back together. But not having close up on the map is tough.

PM me if you like or post reply here. Thanks for your help!

Seeing the position that you're in I think I can help you out! $50,000 for an eTrex Legend with a broken screen! I was going to keep this one for parts but might be able to let it go. Make me an offer on the unit.

If you find one, let me know. I'm in need of the 'Rubber band' from around the outside. The dog chewed mine, and it would be nice not to have to struggle to press the buttons anymore...
