Garmin Edge 1000 Repair
Has anyone had a Garmin repaired, the battery doesn't last more than about 3 hours and the USB port is unreliable. I'm looking for recommendations regarding a repair. Thanks

Mine tend to get knocked by the chaining of the bicycle, then fall off later. To be found next time I use the light. Some crushed.

You could try to find a local repair charity. Edinburgh has a "Remakery" which aims to help people repair things including electronics. Not used them myself though.
A few years ago I tried mobile phone repair shops to get my dad's Tom Tom GPS mended - but they looked at me as if I was mad. Odd, because I had the parts and just needed assembly.
Just buy a new one
Might be worth emailing Gamin support, they've replaced units for me in the past with reconditioned ones even outside of the warranty period.
Thanks, I emailed them last night
It might be worth looking on-line for any videos of how to repair it yourself (and get parts). I successfully replaced the USB port on mine, and I really am not a practical person.
