Random Access Memories

So I bought a Garmin 60cs before I headed from AZ to WA to make sure I could get where I figured I wanted to go, and it’s been working great.

The problem recently has been that the keypad is coming apart.

Here is a link to a photo of the problem:

So I called Garmin to see how much it would cost to get a replacement keypad. I’m good with electronics, i’m sure I could replace it without any trouble. Except they don’t sell parts.

So, I asked how much to repair it, and was aghast to find out they wanted $129.00 to fix it.

I mean seriously, it’s already a damned expensive unit to begin with, but that much just to replace a faulty keypad? Absolutely ridiculous.
