Magellan Repairs

[koalaboi]

Hi,

I have a Magellan 100 which is about 3 years old. It's hardly been used but when I last went out to log some sites, I found only a couple of buttons work. I've tried re-booting, new batteries etc but no good.

Is it worth trying to fix or do I bite the bullet and chuck it?

If fixing is an option, where would I go?

Seriously though:

These guys replaced a cable for me under warranty a whilst ago. I am not sure if they do repairs.

Actually I searched on a couple of other forums and they suggested them as well. Details:

They will probably advise you if it is worth fixing or not. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice cdmark.

I'll give them a ring and find out.

For those who are interested, Next Destinations fixed the device for $60.00. Apparently the fault is reasonably common: the back of the buttons perishes somewhat creating an insulating layer wich prevents them from working effectively.
