well, Garmin have declined to replace my month-old Etrex because I invalidated the warranty by opening it up to try to repair it while in the middle of the sahara. they offered to replace it for £50: the same money that they make on selling them.
I don't much care for their legalistic stance of "you shouldn't have opened it because you're not qualified to repair it". its horse! the unit is not designed to be repairable, but it can be improved: I'll be going down to Maplins to get some silicon to "glue" that silly internal battery. if the next one fails, I won't admit I modified it.
