Fenix 5s Screen Flashing while recording activity

Recently noticed a number of buggy features on my 5s. Three key issues I am seeing:

1. First the maps stopped recording so I followed instructiuons on here for a hard restart (long press top left botton for 15 seconds) which resolved the mapping issue.

2. Since the hard reset however when I switch to recording activities the screen starts flashing and swtiching betwen black and white background. It makes it very hard to record activities, particularly when on white background, I can barely read the screen at all. I have to navigate the menu by memory to start and save activities.

3. the backlight has stopped working.

Any tips?

  • I am sorry you are having issues. The hard restart in itself would not be enough to cause a more serious issue unless there was an issue already developing that has unfortunately, now come out…
