You could try Garmin Telephone Support Olly... they are very good.

Biggest problem I found was the connections of the data cables - not helped by the fact that they are so bloomin fine. I gave up on connectors in the end and soldered all my data cable connections

Good luck mate...I've trodden this path

Shame that you need a new bit...but well done to Garmin Support; saved you a load of fruitless diagnostics

Fl-eBay...gotta be a spare Garmin GPS antenna being flogged - a few guys have two plotters and don't need the spare GPS antenna
