Pee'd off with my Garmin 705!

Hey guys,
Just wandering if any of you guys (and gals) could help out here, having some serious issues with my Garmin Edge 705.
It's simply not being recognised when plugged in to USB on PC or Mac (yes, I've tried three different cables) - I've tried following suggestions online to reformat but it threw an error up saying "Unable to format" on the PC. I know you can force the egde in to data mode, which I have, but it merely recognises the SD card and not the data on the edge itself.
So I'm left with a few rides on there that I desperately wish to export and I'd like to get this issue fixed (if I can). Any suggestions please?

I rode a 112 mile sportive in non stop rain on sunday and the unit faulted mid ride. I think damp may have got in via the loose fitting USB port cover. When I got home, it wouldn`t connect to my laptop.
My unit is 14 months old and so out of warranty, but I rang Garmin who thankfully said they will replace it with an as-new, re-conditioned unit free of charge, so at least I`m not going to be out of pocket. Their service has been first class.
You will need to ring them first to get an RMA number before you send it back.
I believe, from what I`ve read online, the USB cover is better fitting on the units now. I also think it may be worth spraying a light coating of some kind of water repellent into the port, to prevent it happening again.
Hope this helps
