Call Garmin at 1-800-800-1020 (M-F 6 AM to 3 PM AZ time). If it's still
under warranty (1 year), ask them to agree to expedited service.
Overnight it to them and they'll probably have it back to you within a
week. It should only cost you the shipping on your end.
My experience has been that Garmin reliability is extremely suspect, but
their customer support seems to try very hard to make up for that.

*sigh* I think I may have drowned my eTrex! We went kayaking on
Thursday. I wasn't too worried about the water. Says right here in the
manual "Waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes." I wasn't trying to get it
wet...but it did take a dip in the lake while I was getting out of the
kayak one time. It was in for a split second...I didn't worry. Then
while trying to find one of the caches on Canyon Lake, it kept turning
off on me! Kev took a look at it, opened up the battery compartment and
found water in it! UGH! I've had it apart, hoping it will dry out, but
there is a haze over the screen and its not coming on:(
So have I killed it? What about it supposedly being waterproof?
This is NOT what I needed right now! Can't afford a new gps at the
moment!:(
