My Edge 800 appears to have not enjoyed the current weather - the USB port has stopped working. No charging and no connection to the PC.

It's well out of warranty so anyone know how much it would be to fix? Also, send it to Garmin or one of the 3rd party companies now advertising on Google?

I think Garmin charge £68 for a fix all problems repair service.
Have you tried sticking it in a bowl of rice in the airing cupboard for a few days?

Thanks Stumpy - I've used the garmin service in the past but wasn't sure how much it was now, thanks for the info.

And yes, I've tried the drying. And the gt85 squirt in the port. The rest of the unit is working fine but I've got a few rides stuck on there and I'm running out of battery charge 🙂

Garmin swapped mine for nowt. It was out of warranty and I got it from a cash converters so I was without an origal receipt. I was pleased to say the least.
