Sat Nav - USB Port broken off

Poulgorm · 2010-03-10 20:22:59

I have a sat nav: it is charged via a usb port, at the base of the unit. However, the usb port has snapped off the circuit board (soldered connection). Is there any place in Ireland that can repair this? Thanks, in advance.

Depending on the model, and any maps/update packages that you have, it may be cheaper to buy a new one. A new Garmin or TomTom unit can be got for under €100, including the latest maps.

Edit: Although these folks don't deal in Sat Navs, they may be able to help you; worth sending them an email anyway.
