I did the same thing and couldn't find anywhere cheaper so I eventually bought a replacement.
Interestingly I have since read about other people who have somehow cracked the screen on their devices. In one case a repair was carried out FOC and it makes me wonder if there is a tendancy for the screens to crack due to no fault of the owner. |

I bought my Mio 268+ through Globalpositioningsystems, I had a problem with a flickering backlight recently. Globalpositioningsystems use a company called Comserve, I'm not sure if you can use them directly, but it might be worth enquiring. They might be cheaper than Mitac. |

Strangely enough, Mitac appear to be using Comserve to repair their
products.
Mitac sent pre-paid special delivery packaging addressed for Comserve.
I am waiting on Mitac for an exact quote to repair the unit.
I will let you know what happens.
Pete. |
