Garmin Nuvi 760 Cracked Screen Replacement

 

I loaned out my Nuvi 760 only to have it returned with a non-operational touch screen (video worked) due to a cracked screen. Ebay has several companies that offer replacement touch screens for the 760 - I choose the unit WITH the frame and tools - this was a perfect choice because detaching the frame from the screen would be a nightmare.... After removing the two back torx screws (T5), cracking open the back with the parting tool, unplugging the battery and speaker, removing the 4 phillips screws, cracking open the front bezel with a parting tool, gently pushing out the screen from the bezel, unplugging the touch sensitive screen, removing the tape holding the frame/screen/video together (save) and unclipping the frame from the video, all was ready to put back together. Clip in the new frame/screen to the video screen, carefully align the tape, insert into frame, plug screen in, and so on. The new screen required alignment and is more sensitive than the old. All for about $14 and 1 hour labor. "That was easy" Hope that inspires someone with a cracked touch screen.

Replacement screen

Hi Robert

Interesting read and it helped me dismantle my 760.

A few questions though;

Where exactly did you purchase your screen kit and how to tell the specific screen model? I believe there are two different model screens available for the 760.

Your help will be much appreciated

Cool

Wow! I don't need to do this but I'm quite pleased to know that it's a cheap fix. I replaced my own battery on my 760 and found it to be simple even though I'm not particularly dexterous. smile I'll file this away in my mind for the future in case I ever need to replace the screen. It's good to know that the parts are available inexpensively.
