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.

the battery level went down to zero, started to charge it. It blinked, flashed on and off, and now when I look it it, dark screen.. won't power on, nothing. It looks like a call to technical support. I haven't had the GD thing THAT long. And now, they'll replace it with a refurb.

Anyone have suggestions on how to get your edge 800 a power button... mine still works, but no more button... it disintegrated, and I still have it.

the 10 second power try didn't do squat. It still stares at me like the dark thing that it is.

Had same problem after not having used the computer for a month or so as I was riding indoors. Pushing the power button for 10 seconds worked for me.

Thanks, that just help me. I think it was due to software update (confirmation of soft. was necessary after turning it on by holding the button for 10 sec).
