Guest gmagers Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 Has anyone had "issues" with the click stick on the eTrex units? I had to send mine in for warranty coverage after only 5 weeks. The entire stick feels kinda "weak". I am concerned that I will get the unit back and the waterproofness will be compromised OR I will get a "refurbished" unit that was someone else's problems. Any experiance out there with Garmins warranty service? Quote Link to comment
Guest gstrong1 Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 My eTrex Vista headed back to the factory today.When I push the click stick in to enter something,unit does nothing.Garmin support said to reset the unit.Big help since a part of the reset process is to push in the click stick.So after about 30 hrs. of use,it's headed back.I also have the III Plus & the MAP76.I wish they would just keep the thing & send my money back.Unit doesn't impress me a whole lot. ------------------ Gary "Gimpy" Strong Rochester,NY Quote Link to comment
Guest Cold Chuck Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/ubb/Forum13/HTML/000273.html Check out this thread I started. Your comments still concerns me about the robustness of the clickstick. My thumb hasnt logged hours of fooling around with it (yet). ------------------ Cold Chuck of Colorado Quote Link to comment

One way that you can test and see if the buttons are working is to hold down the clickstick while turning on the unit. It should take you into the firmware test mode (if the clickstick is working that is). From there you can press each button once, and the clickstick in all directions to see if it is picking up a signal. ------------------ -Iron Chef _ _ _ _ _________ _ _ _ _ agefive.com/geocache/ Lets Drive Fast and Eat Cheese!
