The spring clip inside my battery compartment broke.
The flexible stainless (?) pads that serve as battery contacts sometimes break. Many people report that Garmin has repaired this at no charge even if the units are out of warranty.

The units claim to be IPX7 (immersible for up to 30 minutes) but I dunked my unit and now it's ruined!
There have some reports of units not really being waterproof. The reality is that once water is inside it, it's probably toast. Success in getting this fixed out of warranty seems to be mixed.

Some of my keys are sticking or not working. How can I test them before returning the unit to Garmin for service?
Hold the ENTER key while powering up with POWER. Hold both until the test screen appears. That screen lets you test each button. Press each key, one at a time, to see if it's recognized. If your key isn't recognized here, it probably needs a field trip to the Garmin service center.
