No Solar Charge - Enduro

3382912 10 months ago

*** ojeff here. my Endoro watch has stopped charging using solar

I have carried out some basic troubleshooting including.

- Making sure the screen is clear and free of dirt

- Turning the device off / on

- Updated to the latest software installs

I also contacted Garmin through the online troubleshooting portal and was advised to carry out the following steps

- Do a soft reset

- put outside for an hour to see if solar gets picked up

- Check my solar widget logs on connect

This does not appear to have picked up any charge :(

- My device is a Garmin Enduro (nott Enduro 2)

- softrware v 26

My question is will a factory Default possibly help? Or does anyone have any other troubleshooting I could try

Thank you - Jeff

Sorry, mate. This forum has so low traffic, a typical Enduro owner seems to not post, just train and compete.

I never had this sort of problem, there are 3-4 people to pop up irregularl and the might answer, too.

I advise you should post also on Reddit, last time I found the info there instead of this forum here.

Hi! Do you mean solar intensity or charge? The Enduro can't actually charge the battery through solar, it just helps prolong battery life somewhat. But if the solar intensity widget doesn't show anything something might be wrong. Depending on where you live - I'm in Sweden so my watch doesn't get much solar energy during our dark winter!
