Step 2

  • Place a plastic opening tool in the seam between the back and front plates of the device. Using constant pressure, slowly and continuously slide the tool along the seam. The tool should disable each of the hooks holding the two plates together. If unsuccessful, apply slightly more pressure and try again.
  • Once all hooks are disabled, slowly separate the two plates, being careful not to damage the ribbon wire still connecting the two.

I was told the small connector at the back of my device is the problem. I am thinking it may be the battery. I don’t really want to throw my gps away if I can fix it! Thanks!
