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.

Hello, does anybody find any solution on black screen or no turn on after pressing power on button?

0 Unifit over 4 years ago in reply to maqito

Yes; DO a factory reset.
I.e. press and hold power button for 10 seconds.
For some reason I had to do this twice before the screen came back on

Same problem. 530 won't turn on after charging. Occasionally ten second hold works, sometimes have to hook it up to computer and do different things. All of which are not appropriate when your buddies are waiting to go for a ride. Seems Garmin makes products that will you what size b.m. you will have in three days but you can't turn the thing on. Did they assign an intern to handle the on/off programming? Terrible. And you can't get them on the phone without wasting an afternoon. No mas!

Same result here. It’s a known problem on early 530s where the screen detaches from a circuit board. Customer service was great and sent me a replacement at no cost after receiving return of original unit.
