How to fix your Garmin Edge

For all those who have an Edge that powers off randomly - this might be something good to try:

There's a nice thread here on how to disassemble the device in the first place:

BTW - while we're at it, if your Edge seems completely dead it might not be. If you haven't used it for a while plug in the USB for a while to make sure the battery is not dead then try this:

To 'reset' a Garmin Edge (works with 305 at least) hold 'lap/reset' button and 'mode' button down at the same time for about 5 seconds. Then let go of these and try the power button. I have had to do this numerous times lately. Seems charging with low current USB (like a hub instead of directly connected to the PC) confuses it.

If you want to view the diagnostic screen, hold 'enter' button during power on.
