Forerunner 405 does not chsrge appears dead
When they won't charge you can narrow it down to a few things. These are the battery, the connector, and the power supply adaptor.
If the battery is say 1-2 years old and has been charged a fair amount or times it may need replacing. Usually it should show some life when on the charger but die as soon as you try to run it on the battery.
The connectors sometimes get loose just from being inserted and extracted. This will cause it not to charge. Usually you can get some life out of it if you rotate or gently move it around and it will make contact. No fix for this other than replace the unit.
The charger is not supply any power ie its dead so your battery never charged and is probably flat. You may have got a brief blink of life after the watch sat for a while before the battery ran down too far.
And lastly the mainboard inside the watch has a problem. Unfortunately the only fix is to replace.
If you think it is under warranty still then take it in, otherwise you can try replacing the battery. Past that point you needto consider getting a replacement as it isn;t cost effective (worth it) to repair.

I've charged up my Garmin forerunner 405 for the
It looks like you have so called cold push button. In fact there is nothing to do with push button as the fault is in contact or in microchip, but that's a long story to explain. You probably would be able to fix it with my help, but as I understand, your Garmin is brand new and still under the warranty, so, there is no reason to open it yourself and loose the warranty. My advise is to go back to the retailer who sold it and ask to change it for the new one.
Rate me, please.

Check the connections for dirt and corrosion.
Also see if the drivers are installed.
