I bought this unit a few weeks ago, and it is still under manufacturers warranty, however the screen is obviously not covered. The unit fell from a significant distance and broke the LCD and the glass in front of the display and behind the digitizer. I took the unit apart and found that the display is an all in one piece, and has several numbers printed on the back. I called Magellan but they told me that sending the entire unit in for repairs is my only option. I refuse to believe this, I feel like there is a surplus or as-is store out there that I don%26#39;t know about that has a shelf full of these 3.5" LCD screens. Any input would be greatly appreciated - I would love to get this thing working again without paying inflated %26#39;repair%26#39; costs on a device that was so easy to disassemble a 5 year old could do it. - Please Note - If your answer will say - send it in or call Magellan, please don%26#39;t bother. Thank you to everyone for reading this and giving me valuable advice!

You may want to try looking at eBay, to see if anyone has a 3100 with an intact screen, but some other type of problem. I%26#39;ve seen damaged GPS receivers there put up for sale to be used for spare parts and repairs.
