Edge 830 stuck Validating Update (to 3.50) for over an hour. What to do?

Hold the power button for around 15-30 seconds until it shuts down.

Then force it into mass storage (see below). Once connected to your PC delete the GUPDATE.GCD file from the Garmin folder.

Next sync again with Garmin Express to download the update file again and try the install again.

Force to Mass Storage -
Turn unit off. Hold the lap/reset button while plugging the unit into the USB. Continue holding the lap/reset for 30 seconds and the unit should go to mass storage.

How to fix it?

I would hold the power button for 20-30 seconds until the unit powers off.

Then try powering it on again.
