My cache days are over, etrex basic is dead, help!!!!

[Guest leskowitz]

I dropped my lifeline and it has no pulse. I dropped my eTrex about 2 feet of the ground on a tile floor. I thought to myself, "No big deal, it is tuff yellow little guy." Went to turn it on and it doesn't work. Help!!! The sad thing is the coordinates for a cache a placed 200 miles away was in there. I guess it will be a 5/5 level one.

I guess, I broke the crystal in there. I bought it 2 months ago and toss the receipt. Any advice to getting it fixed or a new one???? Thanks

No receipt shouldn't be a problem. My Garmin III+ had a display glitch after doing a firmware update, and the Garmin Guy told me to send it in under warrantee since the serial number stated the unit was still within the warrantee period. A few days later my GPS was returned, no charge. All it really needed was a factory reset after the firmware installation.

 

Call them and see what they say.
