HRM Pro Plus not connecting after battery change

Hi All,

After over a year of using my HRM Pro Plus, yesterday I had a notification that the battery was low. Today I've replaced the battery and it hasn't connected again. Removed from FR255, tried to add again - no luck. The same with Garmin Connect - after removing from the app and Bluetooth devices on iPhone, it's not visible any longer. Tried to put the old battery back, but the same - still invisible. Also I've tried the trick with the polarity change, but no effect as well. Any other suggestions except throwing that crap into the trash? After the last few months of problems with FR255 firmware and now this - I'm very close to destroying all that Garmin crap and moving to Polar.

  • you are lucky =D

    mine started working after i made 1 spray of alcohol on inside and let it dry.

    But now it doesn't go idle (it keeps showing last detected heart rate and stays on till battery dies if i forget to remove it), so everyone see how i manually install battery and remove it before and after every ride.

    Im kind of "advertising" it now =D
