I finally got the cadence sensor to connect.
When you open the battery, the connector on the battery lid needs to be seated just right so that when you close the lid, the connector hits the little bronze…
What just worked for me was prying the smaller connector upward a bit. Obviously it had gotten bent down. I was having no luck after changing battery and Garmin connect told me it must be dead...ha! The…
This worked for me !! Thank you !!
Fixed my issue! Thank you SO much!
Thank you - spent hours today trying to get sensors to work with new 840. New batteries, resets, nothing worked. This explanation on the position of the paper behind the battery is the key. Finally I can bike....
The + connection sometimes gets misaligned. See attached video which explains the issues and shows how to fix it. It worked for me!

Just tried almost the things shown but no luck. Then half locked the unit and green light came up so hopefully that's cured it.
Great tip worked for me as well
Thanks, worked for me as well. I actually lifted up the little bronze nub on the sensor within the battery compartment and contact is back and so is the green light.
Having same issue with two sensors. Changed batteries 3 times each / resetting battery and lid 3 times. Connecting to crank arm and running through add senor | cadence ... 3 times. Looks like I get to have more fun. Or buy a new one on Amazon. Grrrr - Design is important.
Sadly I have the same issue with my speed sensor. I just haven’t committed to buying a new one yet….
