Busted the screen on a Garmin Rino 650, looking for a place to take it to have screen replaced in Edmonton or Grande Prairie area.

I took my off warranty 650 in for cracked screen and they replaced the entire unit for a substantial fee. Are they now discontinued? A combo GPS/Rino/Inreach would be the ****

Sent an off warranty one back to Garmin. Replaced unit for $150. Had issue with another one that had been off warranty for 3 months and they replaced for free. Great service.

Not looking to highjack the thread but I have a Garmin 530 that has a ribbon cable connector problem. Just wondering if someone wants it for the screen or other good parts? Or if someone has one with other problems that I can get to fix mine? Maybe we could start a section in the forum for parts for these things for sale/trade so we can do our own repairs? They are easy to take apart and swap the modular sections. I know there is a classified section but maybe it can be more with how to's and manuals or instruction etc.

i am interested in screen, and maybe the headphone jack? mine works with a mic, just not the push to talk button, i may need to to replace the jack? or get one at electronic store.

Wish this would have come up earlier. I threw out a couple after Garmin told me they were obsolete and non repairable.

I had a screen replaced on my 650T at Raytech.ca. Mailed it to Quebec and it was back in my hands in just over 2 weeks
