I've been happily using and syncing a forerunner 225 for a while, but recently got my old 305 out again to use for it's cycling mode. I have a windows 10 laptop to which the cradle is connected via USB. When I put the unit on the cradle it always charges, but doesn't sync. Sometimes connecting and reconnecting, wriggling the unit, and even licking the contacts seems to have triggered a sync, but none of these are working now.
Things I've tried:
- Different computers (only got windows 10 alternatives)
- Uninstalling and reinstalling Garmin Express
- Updating USB drivers
- Looking for classic mode in Garmin Connect (has is been disabled?)
- Different USB ports
- Different USB cables
What I'd like to know is if there is anything else I can try and if not, is it worth getting a new cradle on eBay? Or is the unit old and unsupported so I need to just give up.
Thanks in advance.
