I got it from a fleaBay store. It was just a blister pack with all the bits to do the job, in there. The higher capacity battery was slightly fatter, so it was a bit more of a squeeze to get it into the case, but not too much trouble Arfa

It looks like the two tools needed are a T4 or T5 Torx and a pry tool as shown in use in this video for the Garmin nuvi 650 (with flip-out antenna). http://www.fixya.com/support/t1669746-replacing_battery_in_garmin_nuvi_650 Plus, the music reminds me of Hogans' Heroes! :) |
