Just dropped my 1040 onto the garage floor. It’s in warranty but it’s my fault entirely.
Do Garmin run a replacement screen service (appreciate I will have to pay) or am I going to have to swallow this very expensive mistake!

Thanks everyone for the kind advice. They don't repair but as noted they do replace for a fee. Spoke to Garmin who shipped me a brand new one in return for a payment. First class service.
Garmin will provide a refurbished unit (the 1040 is new, so availability might be an issue) at a reduced price.
Call Garmin.
If you paid by credit card see if there is a warranty through the card. Some cards cover damage for the first 60 days.

Yeah. Garmin doesn't do repairs, per se. I've had similar with previous Edge units and Garmin always replaced it with a refurb for a fixed fee (roughly 1/3 the new price). They were indistinguishable from new, and may have actually been new for I'll I knew.

Hey, that's good news Ian.
As an aside: the glass screen protectors for the Edge 1030 fit the 1040 fine. I would recommend putting one of those on. They come in 3-packs for only a few dollars/pounds/Euros, from Amazon. Just pick a set that reviews well. Stick a rubber bumper case on too to protect from damage if hitting edge-on.
There are now glass screen protectors specifically for the 1040 on Amazon - got a pack of three, and it fits very nicely. I had glass protectors left that I had purchased for my 1030 that I put on the 1040; it was OK but it didn't fit as well as those that are specifically for the 1040.
hello, how many have you paid? THANKS
I believe I paid $23.99 (Canadian dollars).
Finally i ordered a screen for 1030 plus on aliexpress because its the same size i hope it was compatible
