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 had this problem with my unit last year.

    Garmin support was very bad (I bought my unit during a trip abroad) so I had to solve it by myself.

    After trying all kinds of resets, (i knew it was working beacause i could record an activity and save it), it became clear that the problem was in the dysplay itself.

    As said in another reply, the screen connector popped from the logic board. It's tricky to remove the screen to reconnect it, but it's doable.

    After putting the connector back in place, I added a drop of hot glue on the top of the connector, so now it's always pressed against the logic board. No problems so far.

    Thank you very much it worked perfectly..

    So I parked my bike for almost 8 months indoor due to surgery and yesterday I turned my Garmin edge 530 and it turned on but very low in battery I put it on charge and then I installed the latest update 9.75

    I then put it again on charge and left it for the next day and when I tried to turn it on no luck no beep nothing it was dead in the water

    so I googled and found this solution I held the power button for exactly 10 seconds it made a short beep and nothing after that, I put it down for 10 seconds then held the power button for another 10 seconds and it powered on normally.

    Thank you very much

    Bought like new, 2nd hand. Firs symptoms were that battery drained very fast during sleep mode. Now screen is black. 10 secs does not work for my device. Will bring to Garmin service.

    Yes they do that. You will want to use power off always (not sleep mode). Don’t just press the power button shortly to switch off but instead From the “on” state press and hold the power button till the menu appears and then select “power off”
