Screen defective?

Unread post by ConiKost »

Could be my screen defective and 750i needs to be RMAed? I am not able to remove those stains with microfiber cloth. Those stains are only visible in dark background. In white or bright background, I am not able to see it.

Garmin will replace it, but they are currently out of stock. New stock is supposed to be available in march.

Hmm, I wonder if that’s when the hardware update will be available for those of us with the random powered shut down issue.

I don't think so, as in Garmin US it's on stock, while in Garmin DE not.

Yay! Good to hear.

BTW, what firmware version was loaded on the replacement when it arrived?
