FS: Broken Garmin 38 for parts

[Guest mcb]

Here's the deal. I have a broken Garmin 38 I would like to sell for

parts. I thought I could fix it but the surface mount technology is far

beyond my skills. I have carefully opened the case. There is very

little wear or damage to the case; only a few small marks around the

seam where I pried it open and there is a small scratch on the left side

middle of the screen. Once open the problem with the unit became

obvious. The left seam had leaked a little water into the case and the

screws holding the circuit board down had rusted and left oxide on

several of the soldier joints on the left edge of the circuit board. I

careful cleaned it as best I could and tried both battery and external

power with no luck.

 

The rest of the unit is in good shape. The screen look good the button

are all clean and have little wear. The antenna was not damaged. The

battery and data port seals are in are in good shape. The pins for the

data/power port are in mint condition. So if you want it to try to

repair it or use for parts to fix up a functional 38 this is the unit

for you. Garmin will fix it for $69.00 dollars but I not sure it worth

that much.

 

I am only asking $28.00 and I will pay shipping if its in the

continental US. You also get a Garmin case (fits the 38 snugly and is

showing some wear.), the owner's manual (Its been used but in good

condition. The original receipt is stapled in the front cover), and the

quick reference card (in very good condition). I do not have the

original box.
