ZUMO 550 Repairs??
 
It's always the bloooody way!!
I brought a new cradle and a touratech mount for my Garmin Zumo 550 about 3 weeks ago as the old cradle had failed after a tough 6 years of use and was all working O.K.
As we didn't have such bad weather Sunday just gone I took a little trip down to the Sammy Miller Museum. Was a good day out.
The only down side was that my Zumo gave up altogether. By the looks of it, there seems to be one of the very small gold dots (terminal) missing from the underneath of the unit.

Im off to Holland in 4 weeks on the bike 2 up so I really do need it.


Has anyone ever had a unit repaired by any one other than Garmin??
Garmin have quoted me £111.00 for a recon model that only comes with a 3 month warranty.

Thanks, Loz

This is the problem with modern electronics. It works perfectly until it fails, then it is junk.
probably your best bet is to shop around for another satnav unit that does what you want. It may be the same thing, or something completely different.

This is very true. Its no good to man or beast like this. I cant even turn it on now :(

Trouble is they are way to much to buy new.

Iv just been quoted £58.00 to have it repaired by a company in london Sat nav repairs, TomTom repair, Tom Tom repairs, TomTom repairs, Garmin repair

Has any one ever tried them before??
