830 will not turn on

I had a strange problem today.  I charged the unit using a charger (not the computer) and the 830 powered off as expected when full charge was reached.  However, when I went to do a ride, I could not turn it on.  Tried the power button many times, also held it >10 seconds to try for a reset.  Nothing worked.  I then used the USB cable to plug it into the computer.  that powered it up and after that, could power up and down with the power button.  I looked for an error log file after my ride, but could not find one.  Any ideas?  I will have to do some testing to see if this repeats.  Note I am running the beta firmware.

  • Indeed very strange.  Hopefully Garmin will take a look and make sure the bug doesn't get into a released firmware.

  • I've had the same problem three times.
    After pressing the power button for a long time the Edge started.

    I am using the software 3.20

  • Did it happen after charging? or just randomly?  I have not had it happen again, although I have not fully charged it again either.

  • It happen after full charging

  • HI, I am having the same issue, device initially comes on then shuts down in less than a minuet (its charged) this also started after a full charge

  • Hmmm I'm having the same issue on latest beta firmware.  I tend to leave it on the charger for a few hours, and it has trouble turning on requiring a really long press (10+ sec).  Has happened several times now.

  • Could you post the err_log.txt from the Garmin\Debugging folder if there is one?

  • this is from today:
