U never say which model Nuvi you have so google is your best friend.

Here is an example of cost.
For a Nuvi 255W, the digitizer can be bought cheap USD8 only + shipping fm HK

If you have the necessary tools / skills and ability to DIY you can do it.
Here is a YouTube video on how to do it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RySuzK4coo

I broke mine recently. cost 60% of the machine that was brand new! Bitter pill to swallow. It is cheaper to sent tro authorized vendor than direct. You can call the whole/main agent for a quote. They are very helpful.

yes it is a 255w. i dont mind to DIY but the sifu on top said it might be a faulty motherboard too. i am not sure how to determine if its a faulty motherboard or faulty digitizer/lcd.

authorized vendor? does the one at digital mall (PJ) counted?

I am from Kuantan. Look into the official Garmin Malaysia webpage. They run a list of them. Most of them has the ability to do the forwarding/handling for you. Matter of trust.. ie not fly by night.
