Where can we buy a garmin fenix motherboard?

I have a tactix delta I want to repair a button on (middle left side, as the button is shattered internally), and it feels next to impossible trying to find replacement parts. for as easy as it is to disassemble, you'd think it would be easy to source parts... but no... and the only way to get it fixed via Garmin is to trade it in for $150, and you'll receive a different refurbished one!!! so disappointing. it almost feels like I wasted $1000.
