Anyone know someone who repairs handheld gps?

[dada2727]

The ol garmin 60c quit working this year, I went to turn it on one day and it just kind of makes a 'click' sound and nothing happens. It's about 6 years old, I remember paying over $500 for it so that shows how long I've had it.

 

If anyone knows a place that would repair it or can offer me some advice it would be greatly appreciated.

 

thx

If it's been sitting, especially with batteries installed..... take your pocket knife and a pencil eraser and clean the battery contacts.

Thanks for the help guys. Cleaned the connections like irishfield said and put some fresh batteries in it and viola! Man I messed around with that thing for hours, taking it apart and cleaning the inside of it and everything!

 

Thanks for the help fellow OFC'ers!

 

Now I'm all armed and ready for simcoe friday!

Glad it worked out Daryl!
