I have a Garmin Edge 530 with a really strange charging issue. The device incorrectly thinks it is always at 100% battery, which prevents it from charging. A week ago, I plugged it in at 25%, but it wouldn’t charge (tried different cables, chargers, etc.). After troubleshooting for a while, I gave up and left it unplugged and turned off overnight. The next morning, I turned it on, and it was magically at 100%, even though it had not been charging. Since then, the device constantly displays 100% and won’t charge becuse it “thinks” it’s full, but i wasn't sure at the time, i thought it might be charging and its just not displaying it. So i went on a ride with it and it died midway through.I tried plugging it in, and it would only charge while turned off. Once it turned on, it would stops charging again. If I force shut it down while it’s turning on, it flashes between the dead battery icon and the charging icon in a loop. It the battery voltage sensor is faulty and giving an incorrect reading (shows roughly 9 million in diagnostic mode and chg dsbl under it), causing the device to not charge. I''m sure if i find a way to bypass in a way the check for the battery % it will charge . The software on the Garmin is probably preventing it (correct me if i am wrong).
Has anyone else experienced this? I hope there is a way to fix it, i got the 540 but i would like to have it in a working state 
Any help would be appreciated!!
