530 updated to 8.00 last night and then crashed twice and ate the ride this morning...

Garmin 530 has been solid-as-a-rock for me, and it updated to 8.0 while USB connected last night...

Computer started the ride this morning just fine (HRM dual strap, eTap, and 2-lights connected to it), and then power-ed off after ~15 miles... I turned it back on and continued just fine... About 10 miles later it crashed hard and lost all ride data...

Ugh... 8.0 not a good thing for me so far...

Digging into downgrade/other options...

I followed the Garmin instructions to "reset" my 530 (no loss of data/config) and the ride yesterday worked _great_... I __was__ still noticing strange, periodic light-network forming events while the computer/lights were charging (i.e. - the headlight/taillight would "randomly" turn on/off while on their chargers), but the actual ride itself was great...

Reset instructions here: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/edge530/EN-US/GUID-46A06A7C-1F46-4DBA-B010-DAD7BA6BE59E.html

(hope the rides continue to work great...)

Apologies (I just got same 404)... Just re-checked the URL and this one seems to work..

(if the URL still gives problems, I just got that from Google/Bing of "reset garmin 530 edge" and looked for a hit from garmin.com "manuals" pages...)
