Garmin 530 bootloop

Former Member over 6 years ago

Hi everyone my garmin 530 seems to be stuck on a bootloop. It seems to only get to the garmin screen and then just restarts. I tried the holding down the lap button trick but nothing happens. Can anyone help!?.

Thanks in advance.

Try one of these options

Prompted non-vol clear –
1. Turn device off
2. Hold the Down key while powering on the device
3. Continue holding the down key until the “Factory Reset” prompt appears…

Try one of these options

Prompted non-vol clear –

Turn device off
Hold the Down key while powering on the device
Continue holding the down key until the “Factory Reset” prompt appears
Select OK to clear

Non-prompted Non-Vol Clear - Clears NV and deletes all FIT files including Activities, Courses, Workouts.

Turn device off
Hold Lap/Reset and Start/Stop
Press and release the power button
Continue to hold only Lap/Reset and Start/Stop
Release Lap/Reset and Start/Stop when the Garmin Logo is cleared
The unit will restart and clear non-vol
