Need help on my Nuvi 205w's screen

[brellrain]

Hey guys, new to the forums.. I got my unit 2nd hand from a friend about 6 months ago.. Everything was perfect until yesterday(Monday), I was just using it last saturday and it was still perfect, sunday, didn't use it at all.. When I turned it on, this happened..



Looks like the the LCD has collapsed.. The touchsceen still works fine, but because of the black(guessing dead pixels) doesn't let me see that well..

Is there a way to have my unit fixed?

PS: It wasn't dropped, but I did leave it on the windshield for a day(open parking) but its not like I haven't done that before..

It's a cracked LCD screen. No way of repairing it but to have it replaced which I guess would be more tedious than buying another one.

Really? Because looking at my garmin, there are no signs of cracks.. Its when I turn it on that this black screen appears.. But I guess you're right.. I might have to buy another one.. Thanks bro..

looks like it has been exposed to extreme heat and/or too much pressure to the lcd.
