Garmin 750s GPS

The LCD screen on my GPS has started to bleed and I’m wondering if it’s possible to just get a new screen for it or whether I will need to replace the entire unit. Anyone know?

Contact Garmin customer services,they can often be surprisingly accommodating.

I have to agree with PD ,those garmin support guys are second to none ,definite way to go ,and as an aside i have a perfect functioning 750 with no depth so if you do have to replace, i may be up for the scrap !

Screen went on mine and Garmin told me there were no spares and no way of repairing it. I had a look myself and couldn't sort it so I replaced it with a 751xs model which went in the same hole with very little modification needed
