Garmin Edge 520 won't go into mass storage mode

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. My Garmin Edge 520 won't go into mass storage mode. I have tried hold lap/reset for 30 seconds, a new cable and a different Mac. I really don't want to do a factory reset.

Best wishes

  • you don't say if you get charging but no data ?

    I've had this with some USB cables - charging only but no data.

    I know you've already tried a new cable but probably worth trying another - I have a big box of cables and it think about 50% were "charge only" - alternatively try the cable on something else that has a data connection.

    Hi,

    It did indeed charge, but you inspired me to find another cable. I found one and it worked, thank you so much.

    Best wishes

  • no probs - I don't know why the make usb cables that don't have the data cables connected, I suppose it saves .00000001 pence per cable and that all adds up
  • On some devices you need to stop them going into data mode, hence the need for power only cables.
