Beginner all over again
My Garmin Forerunner 305
woudn't turn on
wouldn't charge
I found this on the Garmin support website and it fixed it for me.
Just thought I'd post it.
Mine was plugged in to charge, not to computer, and it still worked.
Question: My Edge or Forerunner 205/305 won't power on. Is there a soft reset that I can do?

If a Forerunner or Edge 205/305 is unable to power on, a soft reset can be performed to un-freeze it. This will not erase any user data and is most effective if the device is connected to the computer while performing the reset.
To reset the Forerunner or Edge 205/305:
In addition, please make sure that the device has the latest software version
