gARMIN 305 DEAD...............

Hi Guys - can nayone help.  got a 305 for a few yaers.  Used it on cycle ride yesterday - all good.  Got home turned it off had shower.  Connected to PC to upload and it was dead - nothing.  Can't turn it on - won't charge on docking station.  Occasionally I did get it to turn on - but upload kept failing.  Now its just non-responsive.  Any ideas.

best bet is to phone garmin up. my 205 recently died and for £47 i sent it back and they replaced it with a fully refurbished unit....can't argue with that. my 205 was 5-6 years old, mind.

One thing that sometimes works. Hard reset is done by holding down the Mode and Reset buttons for 10 seconds. Doesn't make any sound or anything but once you've done that try switching it on again.

As above the hard reset works fine

phone garmin UK up on 0<span style="color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">2380 524000 and tell them what's gone wrong, they told me it would be £47, so i sent mine off and a few days later a fully refurbished unit turned up.

thanks all.  Think I'l phone Garmin up then.

Thanks all - my Garmin just died, or so I thought, it wouldn't respond to anything.  Did the hard reset thing and it came back to life.  Magic!
