Nuvi 260 Screen Problem

 

Hey all, I have a Nuvi 260 that has a screen where the touch doesn't work, but it displays a picture. I used my iFixit kit to open it up, and attempted to reseat the screen cable. That didn't work. I have a spare Nuvi 260 screen laying around. I figured I could use that. Apparently not. The screen on this 260 has one cable for both display and touch, while my spare screen has separate cables for those. The board on this 260 doesn't have the place to plug in the touch cable. So I try something different. I grab a spare 4.3" screen, and plug that into it. It works, though the calibration is way off, but that's what I was expecting. After all, it is a 3.5" unit, not meant to be used with a 4.3" display.

Where's a good place to go to buy a new screen for it?

eBay

Probably your cheapest option is to buy a complete used device in working condition on eBay.

Probably Right

Seems like they are being listed on eBay for $7-$14 per unit. May not be worth the hassle to fix unless you want to use one of those for parts.

Missing the mount, but that may be an issue or one taken care of at minimal cost.
