The power wont turn on

Hello,

What is the problem?

If you are looking for a heart rate monitor, one can be found here.

The Garmin would need to be sent back to the Garmin Repair Center.

The Garmin Repair Center in Canada is Raytech Electronique in Laval, Quebec.

You need to contact Garmin and have them replace or repair the watch. If the watch is less than a year old, it will be under warranty. Older than a year it may be a repair or replace only situation, Garmin will have to determine that. It is not unusual for the forerunner series to have rechargeable batteries that die off.

Yes it does. Pressbutton 1 (top left hand button) to turn on the light and again to turn it off.

If you don't have a copy of the user manual, go to http://static.garmincdn.com/pumac/984_OwnersManual.pdf to down load a copy.

You said your watch was a "101", I assume that is a Forerunner 101.

The instruction say "press and hold the power button until the welcome page is displayed".

Perhaps you are not holding on to the power button for long enough?

Incidentally, if you do not have a copy of the instruction manual, you can obtain a copy from their web site "garmin.com". "Select support" and "manuals", fill in all three boxes and select your manual from the list given.

I would recommend having the charger checked for good electrical flow and I would also have the rechargeable battery inside the watch checked. Even capacitors need to be replaced every so often because they just get wore out. Also, be sure that you arent exposing your charger or watch to extreme temperatures as this will cause problems.


If you have trouble finding a shop that can do this you can contact Garmin support directly at:
1-800-800-1020
or

Follow this link, give all the details of your device and download it:

The device may just be locked up and needs to be reset so that it can start up normally. To do a reset on the device, make sure the unit is plugged in to the charging cable/cradle and connected to power. Next press and hold the Mode + Reset buttons at the same time for approximately 10 seconds. After releasing the Mode + Reset buttons, attempt to power the device on normally.
