Well that sucks, I just bought my 530W 6months ago,... luckily it was sent out to Garmin for an overall overhaul and updated the firmware to the lastest rev before i bought it. Hopefully she will last me a few years.

They did the same thing with the GNS480 several years ago and cottage industry has sprung up to support it. I'm sure the same thing will happen here.

Yeah, not surprising. Both my 430Ws went through refurbishing in the last three years, and I think they will outlast me and/or the airframe.
