Introduction

The back case may need to be replaced if the case is cracked or damaged. Damage to the back case can limit your ability to mount the Garmin Edge 530 device which limits useability.

In this guide, you will have to pry up the front screen with a metal spudger. It is important to note the potential broken glass hazard when prying the screen from the back cover. After this step, use ESD-safe tools to avoid damage to the rest of the device and protect it from electrostatic discharge.

Step 1

              LCD Screen Display
  • Insert the metal spudger between the edge of the device screen and back cover.
  • Begin to pry along the perimeter between the device screen and back cover.
