The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

Menace to Sobriety
Try scraping the contacts on the unit and the charging base to make sure they're clean.
MTA: I have an older 201 thats about 5 years old. When it had about 2 years on it, it started acting weird, wouldn't charge right, wouldn't hold my setting, etc. I think the memory was full. It stuck in the "on" and I couldn't turn it off. I just let it run completely down. It worked, the memory was clear, but it charged up and has worked fine since then.
Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
Thanks,Idid that. No luck.

My 305 sometimes acts like it won't charge and rebooting takes care of it. There's supposed to be a fix for this you can download but I've been too lazy to look for it.

Instructions From Garmin support
I am happy to help you with this. From what you describe your unit is not functioning correctly. To correct this issue I would suggest that you master reset your unit to clear out any corrupt data. This will clear out all data in the unit and reset it to factory defaults and settings. Following are instructions on how to perform a Master Reset on your unit: -- With the unit powered off, Press and hold the Mode and Power button at the same time. You will then see a screen that says, "Do you really want to erase all user data Yes/NO" Select Yes and the unit will be reset. After the master reset please place your unit outside so that it has a clear view of the sky for 25 to 30 minutes so that the unit can acquire new almanac data. I would also suggest going to our website at the following link and updating your units operating system. http://www.garmin.com/products/webupdater/howtoinstall.jsp If you have any additional comments or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via email or at the number listed below.
