Does not help me a bit. My button fell off and I did not see it come off, so it is lost. Cannot fix it without info of where to get a replacement!

The power button on my Garmin 50 LM fell off the other day. I can’t find anywhere where I can buy a new replacement. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I’m looking for same switch part for nuvi 40lm. Unless we purchase a whole

Unit from EBay that doesn’t work just for the switch. Good luck if you find one.
