Happens to the best of us doesn't it boet? Also happens to the worst of us, 'coz i wrecked a 260W that way trying to replace the battery and tore off the display ribbon from the mobo breaking the connection on the board too.

Waiting for a replacement screen from Honkers for a 2595 i got cheap so I hope practice has improved my nuvi-wrangling skills.
Got a little-bitty snipe bid set for a bricked 1390 with a cr@cked screen too, i guess that seller couldn't unbrick it so in frustration did this to it:
