I attempted to turn on my 910xt this morning, and I'm not getting anything on the screen. It vibrates/beeps when I turn it on/off, but the screen remains blank. Has this happened for anyone else?

I'm leaving today to meet up my Reach the Beach relay race team, and really prefer to race with my pace and heartrate info. Ugh.

Have you tried charging it? Sounds like the battery is dead.

I had that happen a few months ago and Garmin had to replace my 910.

X2Has happened to me when it is dead. Usually after being in my gym bag and probably accidentally turned on.

Try this, but be prepared to lose whatever training data is currently stored on the device. This fixed a similar problem I had about 5 months ago.

This has happened several time to me in the 8 months.  When the charge is below 12%.  Often when I hook it up to charge it and while in the charger it downloads data.  It then turns on and drains the power.  Then when I retrieve it from the charger it is dead.  I always make sure to charge it and take it off the charger immediately if the computer is turned on.  It's happened maybe 3-4 times.

I had this happen to me this past weekend (night before a big race). I had mine on the charger, so Id have 100%. I attempted to turn it on and nothing came on the screen. Tried resetting it. Finally got it turned back on when I attached it again to the power cord. Used it for the race and now, it wont sync with my computer to DL files. ---nightmare. Hoepfully Garmin can get this resolved or send me a new unit.

Happened to me yesterday.  I left it on overnight and the battery was dead.  When I plugged it in, the battery life indicator said 1%.  Frustrating but I guess it was my own fault. 

 

On a follow up to the guy talking about his computer connecting, I only plug in the USB drive when I want to transfer data.  That way it is not always trying to connect. Seemed to work for me.
