Expert  709  |  Subject: Garmin 305 died...My Garmin was working fine two days ago but when I put it on to run yesterday it would not turn on. I ended up using a regular watch thinking that I had just left it on, but I can't get it to take a charge. I've had it for probably a year and a half, is that the normal time it takes for it to die? I thought that battery in the chest strap was the first to go out on these things? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Now try and turn it on as you normally would. This worked for me, and now I have to do it every time I use the 305. |

It's probably like resetting an iPod which I've had to do on occasion. Thanks for the tip! |
