 Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2008 10:54 pm Post subject: Nuvi 310 Dark Screen |
 |
|
Hi All,
I have the Nuvi mounted on a bean bag type mount. Got a little over enthusiastic cornering the other day, and the Nuvi went flying. All the functions work, except the screen is now fairly dark. I can't seem to make any changes to the settings, and I'm hoping that there's any easy non monetary type fix. 
I'd be grateful for any advice.
Regards, Ian. |

Sounds like maybe the backlight has gone?
There's someone advertising a fixed-fee Nüvi 3xx repair service on Ebay at about half the cost of Garmin's (no connection to me).
If it was a genuine Garmin Bean-bag mount that didn't do its job properly, you might get some free help from Garmin? |

That's what i thought. Is it very dark with a very feint view of the screen? |

Thanks for the link, looks like that could be the answer.
Many thanks,
