Screen Will not turn on.

My edge 530 screen stopped working. I can set the cycle alarm and tricker it with the app on my phone. I can also see that it's turned on in the app. But nothing will show up on the screen.

I have had the same, I didn't think they could make a more unreliable product than the 520

My first Edge 530 failed and the company replaced it. The second has just similarly failed and I'm not sure I'm even going to bother trying to get them to replacement. My old 520 had its issues, but managed to survive normal use for more than a few months before dying.

Found the solution (its a known bug) Just hold power button down till it beeps. Then wait and do a hard reset (power button 10 seconds) This will happen every time a full charge to 100% is applied

That did not work. Any other ideas. It still records rides if I get the buttons correct, however the screen is dark.

As you cannot reset it on device (you cant see anything on the screen you can do a device factory reset)

This means you need to bling step through the process (use some screenshots of the device to work out the click order)

I tried again and plugged the unit on the cabo and end up working. I am so happy I do not have to deal with warranty again.
