Fenix 6X Sapphire Start button not responding

Hello Everyone,

It stopped working yesterday. All others work, I can turn off and turn on, did soft reset but right now stuck on selecting language. Any help?

Sounds like a dirty button.

Try cleaning around the Start button with warm, mild soapy water and a soft toothbrush then rinse well with lots of water.

Same issue with my Garmin 6 Fenix. Start/Stop button is not responding.

So... did you try cleaning it as described above?

Yes, about 5x already to no avail, I guess I’ll just have to pay Garmin the $180 they’re asking for.

I tried, nothing worked. Then I brought it to local smartphone/smartwatch service - they opened and found button inside part rusty and non-functioning. I hope they will find analog for this part otherwise I 'll have to sell it "for parts" on Ebay...
