Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The Garmin Nuvi 2559 (also known simply as Nuvi 2559 LM in some regions) is a portable GPS navigation device used for turn-by-turn navigation. This guide shows you how to replace the touchscreen.
The screen, also called the digitizer + LCD assembly, is responsible for both displaying maps and receiving touch input from the user.

Important tips and warnings:
- Take care when removing shattered glass; wear gloves to avoid injury.
- Be aware that adhesive holds the screen in place do not force the screen apart.
- Disconnect the battery before working with internal components.
- Use ESD-safe tools to prevent damage to the electronics.
