#repair on the bench next is this older Garmin Vivoactive. It stopped working after a hot tub session. Upon opening evidence of moisture ingress, so I have dismantled and will let it dry out for a couple of days before looking more in depth for issues. #garmin #koolWatchRepairs #repaircafe #fixes #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #aberdeenshire

If ever an inanimate electronic object could bring about both angst and joy, it is this one. Garmin Epix pro 2 with the dreaded sticky buttons. Really glad to see it charging!

What a faff the fix was! I can see why commercial repair places charge £90 just for the button component now, they don’t actually want to repair them.

I also repair Coros, Samsung, Apple, Huawei, etc. sports watches.

In today’s episode of “I’ve slept since a planned to do thing x”, I couldn’t find the replacement battery for the watch repair I’m working on. New battery ordered and will be here tomorrow. Checked messages to update client, and realised they *didn’t want or need a battery change*.
FFS.
Oh well, spare battery never goes amiss.

@Wen thank you for your kind words - I appreciate it. It was a pleasure to work on your watch, long may it continue to give you service.

Sometimes the #prettythings hide the horrors inside. This #garmin fenix6s pro has a battery replacement at some time in the past by a careless tech. Time for some tlc, a new battery, and back to full service. #koolWatchRepairs #repair #aberdeenshire #RepairReuseRecycle #RepairDontReplace #battery
