I've got a Garmin nuvi 2587 GPS.
It's only about 3 years old and hasn't had much use. Something has gone wrong with the audio. Even at full volume the sound is very low and garbled. My first guess is the speaker has gone bad.
I was looking on Youtube, there is a how-to about replacing the speaker. Not a very detailed video, but looks simple and the speaker is available on Ebay.
Is this a common problem? The video says speaker failure is caused from getting wet, but this has never been wet.
Anyone ever tried to replace one and did it work?
Any way to diagnose the problem before guessing and wasting the effort?
Leave it alone and live with it?
Send it in for repair?
Thanks!
