Is my dear Garmin Fenix 3 dead?

Hi everyone!

I need some advice to revive my dear Garmin Fenix 3. After a surf session it suddenly shut down (I make thousands of surf session with my Garmin Fenix and it still working then). Then I achieve to switch it on again but now when I press on button nothing happen... Impossible to navigate in any menu of my swtach. I can only switch on/off and heard "bip" when I remain press too long on some button...

Does anybody ever seen it? What could the solution?

Thank you for reading :)

Regards,

Kevin

If your Fenix 3 will not power on, work through the "Will Not Power On" on section of this article - Garmin Outdoor Watch Freezes, Reboots, or Won't Power On.

Mine just did this also after surfing. Not sure if they pushed an update out that bricked the watch

Thank you. I tried all of those steps including charging overnight x 2 days and powering on holding button for >60 seconds both on and off charger but no response. Over weekend I did a chat with tech support and had to purchase a replacement refurbished watch as there did not seem to be any other options.
