Repairing Garmin Forerunner 305
A friend of mine recently seek help to fix his Garmin Forerunner 305, a GPS enable watch. Initially we suspecting the problem was due to the battery not holding charge. Lucky for us, the problem was one of the pins was broken due to corrosive of the sweat that went in through the speaker holes.

As you can see the corrosive damages done by the sweat till the pin broke off. The nearby screw is rusting away as well.

I had a computer BIOS chip lying, so it was the candidate to get a pin from.
