My Garmin Edge 130 Plus suddenly stopped transferring ride data with both USB and Bluetooth connection. I did a club ride on Saturday morning and successfully uploaded my ride to Garmin Connect and to Strava. On Sunday morning I went out on a solo ride, but when I got back home, I could not upload the ride by any means. At first, I tried to sync the ride using my iPhone as I usually do after a ride, but after more than 30 minutes I realized the data wasn't being uploaded. I then connected it to my laptop, the Edge started charging, but it did not show up as a USB device.
I tried different USB ports as well as a different computer. I tried various other USB cables, all of them that I know that they are working, but still nothing. I again tried to upload the ride via Bluetooth, this time using a spare iPhone that was recently reset to defaults so I know there should not be any clashes with whatever app. I installed the Garmin Connect app on the phone and then added the Garmin Edge. That means there are Bluetooth communication, but the device simply refuses to transfer the ride.
I then reset the Edge, first the option that just clears the settings, but that did not solve the problem. I then gave the Edge a full reset, clearing everything, erases data and settings. After that I started the GPS, walked around the house, and stopped it. The device itself seems to be working, it's picking up the HRM, locking onto the satellites and indicating the speed. That newly created data also did not want to upload via Bluetooth, and still the device cannot be seen on my computer, but it is being charged whilst connected to the USB port.
I am at my wits end, maybe someone has some other ideas that I can also try? I did go through the steps on the Garmin Edge 130 support page, but it was of no assistance.
