How to get parts - Garmin DriveAssist 51 LMT-S with a cracked screen.

The specific device is not listed in ifixit, but this is “close”. I have a Garmin DriveAssist 51 LMT-S that fell and broke the screen. It barely responds to touch and not reliably. I contacted Garmin, who says they don’t have parts… the will replace it for $139.00, which is what I paid for it. I assume replacing the screen is similar to working on a cell phone, but I have no idea how to find parts needed… I’ve searched a number of sites online with no “joy”. Suggestions? Thanks.

"Hi Daniel:

Here is a videoclip that shows how to replace the screen. The repair does not look too complicated.

My suggestion concerning a replacement screen (as the only part that would need to be replaced), you could find one here. The resolution of the 5” screen of the Garmin DriveSmart and DriveAssist are the same (480x272). However, you might want to contact the seller before you buy to double check.
