+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I have in my possession one of the above GPSrs.. However it has a cracked screen, but I'm assured that apart from that it works just perfectly. Magellan quoted a silly amount for a repair. I was wondering if anyone had a similar model (Or I believe a 100/200/300) with a fault other than a cracked screen. I have the 400 taken apart and I'm quite confident I can do the screen transplant operation! I'd just like to use this as an extra GPSr when I'm out walking with groups of students at school.

+tenEARs5HARTs Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Have you found a suitable transplant donor? The power switch sheared off of the circuit board on mine. I have been trying to find a new switch to solder onto the board, but I haven't had any success. I was thinking about using it as a travel bug. Maybe I could pull the screen out before launching it as a TB. Edited April 26, 2010 by tenEARs5HARTs Quote Link to comment
