EDGE 1040 SOLAR: NO CHARGING AT ALL (only gaining some minutes during activity)

Dear all,

I really have no clue what the idea is concerning the SOLAR panel on the Edge 1040.

Only in cse of a activity running the I notice the SOLAR panel to 'move'by adding some minutes.

Even in bright sun it's not much: approximately 15 minutes on a 5 hours right is not what I expected, do you?

But then, when I stopped the activity and leaving the EDGE 1040 SOLAR in the sun and 'on' , nothing seems to happen, whereas I expected the unit to be charged.

Also, in power off and leaving the unit in the sun for some hours: battery is not being charged. In contradiction: power level seems to lower a bit.

Can anyone advise how to check whether the SOLAR panel does work properly and how the SOLAR panel must work at all?

Kind regard,

Ronald

Is the issue fixed already?

yes, the issue is fixed. My 1040 Edge Solar charges now from the sun when in sleep mode.

Great! thanks... mine will arrive on Friday, so I am just checking what is still an issue with it.

My 1040 on 18.23 charges when turned off. I had it on my desk today and, turned off, it charged a couple percent before being turned on again. It's nothing spectacular, but it seems to be working now.
