    There are screws on the back corners of the Magellan that need to be removed.

    One here.

    Step 2

    There is another one by the usb plug that needs to be removed.

    Step 3

    The next one is located at the bottom corner.

    Step 4

    Use the green tool to create space between between the front and the back casing.  Do this by working the green tool along the edge releasing any clips that might be holding the two casings together.

    Step 5

    Continue working your way around the edge using the green tool.

    Step 6

    Once you have worked the green tool all the way around you can lift up the front LCD casing of the magellan.

    Step 10

    Remove the torx screws you find under the front casing that is near the SD card tray.

    Step 13

    Now the plastic frame should come loose from the Magellan 4250 midboard.

    Step 12

    This is what it looks like when the frame is removed.

    Garmin 660 Before you begin

  • Read this website's Legal Guidelines and make sure you understand the risks of this repair. Place your Garmin Nuvi 660 on a clean flat and soft surface, such as a rubber mat or a piece of soft cloth and get the required opening tools

  •  

    Step 1

    Open the GPS antenna.

     

     

     

    Step 2

    Remove the two Torx T5 screws at the top of the antenna cover.

      

    Step 3

    The goal is to reach the two screws next to the antenna hinges, but access to them is obstructed by the antenna. So the antenna needs to be removed first.

    First of all remove the antenna's backcover using a plastic opening tool. Just insert the opening tool in the seam on the side of the antenna.

      

    Step 4

    This is what it looks like when the cover is removed.

      

    Step 5

    Use the edge of the small flathead screwdriver to push the black plastic cylinder that is the right antenna hinge toward the center of the antenna.

      

    Step 6

    If you pull the antenna upward as you are pushing the cylinder inward, the right hinge will become dislodged.

      

    Step 7

    The spring will push the cylinder out abruptly as soon as it becomes released, be careful not to lose it.

      

    Step 8

    Now you have access to the two screws under the antenna. Remove them using a Torx T4 screwdriver.

      

    Step 9

    Use the opening tool to pry apart the front and back of the Garmin Nuvi housing.

      

    Step 10

    Slide the opening tool toward the edge of the casing.

      

    Step 11

    Slide it around the edge toward the headphone jack.

      

    Step 12

    You should now be able to separate front and back.

      

    Step 13

    The front containing the Garming Nuvi 660 screen should now fold open as shown in the image.

      

    Step 14

    Use the opening tool to carefully release the screen connector latch and the touch screen connector latch.

      

    Step 15

    Finally release the backlight connector latch and remove all ribbon cables. You should now be able to separate the front from the GPS body.

      

    Step 16

    You have successfully removed the screen of your Garmin Nuvi 660, for reassembly follow the steps in reverse order, using the new replacement screen.
