Total Ascent and Descent No Longer Match

This may have been spoken about in the past, but nothing seems to work for me!

Recently, my Edge 530 has been reporting a discrepancy between Total Ascent and Descent of around 100 metres on a 300 metre overall climb. Not sure what has happened for this to occur.

I have tried blowing into every orifice, of the unit, manually recalibrating the altitude, although, once the GPS kicks in, the altitude is correct. And I have also reset the thing.

It is still well busted.

Any tips?

Can this be sorted as a warranty issue?

    You could update to 9.79b, then use the GCD file to go back to 9.75.

    I've been thinking about doing it, but end of day, I don't really worry much about elevation on my rides, a hill is a hill and I can see with my eyes where the top is etc. And when I upload my ride, elevation s corrected to what it should be included ding start and finish elevation.

    But, it would be nice to know what is causing the issue. I have even deleted my start location, but still the problem is there, Using the set elevation also does not work as soon as you do it, the 530 changes it.

    At the moment I about to venture out, my 530 is turned on and elevation is showing 65', which is only a foot out from it being 66' which is spot on. But, soon as I press start, it will change and can be up to 150' out.

    I sometimes think there is a pattern but I cannot work it out if there is.
