		   I find I have a broken connector pin in my Garmin GPSMap196.  This is 

 for the cable that is the aircraft & computer interface. I took the 

 thing apart and it could be easily replaced.  I called Garmin 

 no-support and they can't sell me a $0.50 part, but they do have a 

 flat rate repair for just $200.00.



 Would anyone happen to know where I might get my hands on such a 

 critter?  Or anyone have one they dropped and wanted to get rid of the 

 heap of parts?



 Maybe I could repair the connector by drilling out the bad pin they 

 epoxy in a D-sub pin.



 Trying to attach a couple of blurry photos.



 Thanks.

Do a little research on which elcheapo Garmins use the same connector 
	


(it's really common), & bid on one on ebay. Or just hard-wire a USB 

pigtail into it, & put a mating connector on your cable in the plane.
