Broken Garmin Chartplotter connector

[jamiepyoung]

I've managed to break the NMEA2K connector off the back of our GPSMap 4008 chartplotter.

Despite previous good service from Garmin, they want £350 minimum charge to repair it.

Essentially the connector needs re-soldering back on. We might have a go at it ourselves, but I wondered if anyone more experienced might be able to do it for us.

We are in Brighton.

Thanks

It can't be too hard a job. Get yourself a solder suckered and a fine tip iron and go for it.

Best of luck.

Maybe try your local computer repair shop?

Hey Jamie, I'm in Brighton as well and whilst I can't promise anything, I can at least take a look. I've plenty of soldering experience. Send me a PM if you like.
