While I can still power on and off the unit with a paper clip, it’s no longer waterproof. Any ideas to repair?

Searching around, this seems to be a fairly common issue, and the Edge 1030 has changed the design, but those go for over $500. Many are looking at Wahoo products as a replacement. Any GPS units out there that are more durable and not ridiculously expensive?




They never heard of it? LOL, Mine did the exact same thing in May. When they told me the bill, I used the money to buy a Wahoo.
