I do not know why my garmin forerunner 235 will not turn on or charge.

It worked last night, I turned it off prior to bed. When I tried to turn it on this morning it would not start. I plugged it into my laptop and wall plug and it still would not turn on or charge.

Battery poles are giving problem. Its the port connecting the battery to the laptop either has a short or just stop working. Check that & get bac @ me! Thats the problem.

SOURCE: archos 404 not charging

Dont use the USB to charge the 404. Use a wall charger that accepts USB. Wally world (Walmart) has one for 15 dollars that has 2 USB ports. It works for me. Also the docking station will charge the 404 in no time at all. It's 80 dollars. Make sure you get the generation 4 unit

SOURCE: wont turn on

Laptops are far more prone to be taken out by even minor power surges then anything else in your home, including desktop computers.
If you have any method (multimeter etc) to check the voltage from the power supply you may have been lucky and it took the bullet to save the laptop.
If the power is registering in the correct range, around 18volts, then chances are your laptop has taken the hit and the motherboard is gone.
If this is the case, then before you throw it against the nearest wall, take it to a laptop repair centre. It "may" have been saved by a fuse on the motherboard and therefore protected itself as best it could.
Prices to have it looked at will vary alot, so call around.

SOURCE: Garmin 200 won't turn on, flashes "Garmin" screen when plugged in

I connected the unit to the car charger instead of the USB charger and then held down the reset for 10-15 seconds, after which the system would show the computer connection on the charger and then boot up when not on the charger.

My forerunner will no longer turn on or even charge, can they be repaired or am I best to buy a new unit?

Garmin will repair it for about eighty bucks.
http://www8.garmin.com/support/outofwarranty.html

But first, try cleaning the electrical contacts on the forerunner and the cradle by rubbing them with a pencil eraser. The slight abrasive should remove any oxidation on the metal. A bad contact between the unit and the cradle could be your problem.

Communication between device and computer

The first thing I would try is to go to the manufacturers web side and download current USB drivers for you computer and device. Install the driver, reboot your computer and try to connect the device. If that doesn't work please let us know.

Garmin 305 wont power on, wont charge on cradle

Same thing happened to mine. Put the unit in the cradle (just like you are going to recharge it) and press the reset and mode button at the same time for 3 seconds. This will "wake" the unit up.

Garmin Forerunner 205 Battery won't charge. A few

Hey everyone. Just called Garmin and got it fixed. Sometimes the forerunner goes into power saver mode and needs to be reset

1. Hook up the usb cable and docking station to the computer.
2. Next, hook up your forerunner to the Docking station - It should pop up saying battery charging in progress
3. Leave it all hooked up and Hold the Mode and Lap/Reset Button together for 15 seconds - screen should go blank.
4. Let both go - should pop back up saying battery charging in progress.
5. Let Charge 20 minutes and it should be good to go.

Hope this helps!!!

Plug in the garmin to the wall.
Hold down the reset and mode buttons for 3 seconds.
Try to turn it on or look for the "charing in process" words.

I have a garmin Forerunner 405 and the time was locked at 7:25 am.  I held the two side buttons down in an attempt to reset it, and it just cleared the screen completely.  I charged it last night, and the...

Hi

I had a similar problem, the screen lock while trying to turn GPS on. Tried all butttons and bezel operations, left it charging overnight - no joy. Eventually pressed and held both buttons and after about 30 secs (did not time it but was about that) it restarted.

Good luck!

Garmin Foreruner 305 will not turn on or charge

I had the exact same problem and thought my beloved forerunner 305 had finally died. Try pressing the lap and mode keys simultaneously, and then power on. That may do a "soft reset." Worked for me.

Garmin Forerunner 201 won't turn on

I had the same problem and this is what Garmin had me do. Charge it for 3 hours then try the reset again by holding RESET and POWER at the same time for 30 seconds. If still no-go the unit will have to be repaired. Garmin's base fixing price is about 80 dollars. I didn't want to pay that so I found a new one on eBay for 50 bucks.
