brucehawsker 17 October 2005, 10:41 On the way back from Weymouth, doing our best to keep up speed in a head sea, suddenly heard the hand microphone of the radio bouncing loose. Closer inspection showed the plastic of the microphone back had given way with a crack, and the magic semi circle of plastic inside the microphone had fractured. Thus we have now a perfectly fine clip attached to the console, and a microphone which will no longer stay attached to it.
Currently held in place with duck tape.
Solutions?
BTW it is a Navman 6100
Thanks
Bruce
Rogue Wave 17 October 2005, 10:48 warranty replacement, if you are going to keep the radio then I'd consider using some commercial spec Velcro instead

tcwozere 17 October 2005, 15:07 Oh, and it is just out of warranty - one year :sick:
I would still try Navman, Plastimo (http://www.plastimo.com/) have a good reputation for customer care.. Plus they are local.. :D
Tim M 17 October 2005, 17:11 Bruce, are you totally sure it's only a one year warenty. I have a Navman 7100 and seem to recall it coming with a 2 year warrenty (bought it about a year ago). I think if you send off the registration form they do the extra year....
I may well be totally wrong though

hope your dentist managed to sort that out for you.
Jon Brooks 18 October 2005, 08:04 Anyway Stu
A little bird tells me you have a few drama's with the Navman radio's you have.
Is that true? :D
On a more serious note any news re the theft?
Have they caught the little F***ers yet?
Hope when they do they string them up!
Truth is they will get a slap on the wrist or an ASBO!
Time was when you could shoot people who did this kinda thing :D

Kernow 18 October 2005, 09:30 :eek: Ouch :eek:
