Help! My 520 since yesterday went into a reboot loop. It shows the Garmin logo at the start and then it reboots again and again and again. Anyone encountered same issue? How do i hard reset this bugger?
  • Try

    Prompted non-vol clear
    • Turn device off
    • Hold the Down key while powering on the device
    • Continue holding the down key until the “Factory Reset” prompt appears
    • Select OK to clear

    Non-prompted Non-Vol Clear - Clears NV and deletes all FIT files including Activities, Courses, Workouts.
    • Turn device off
    • Hold Lap/Reset and Start/Stop
    • Press and release the power button
    • Continue to hold only Lap/Reset and Start/Stop
    • Release Lap/Reset and Start/Stop when the Garmin Logo is cleared
    • The unit will restart and clear non-vol

    Problem here is i cant turn off the device. It just goes into a reboot loop until the battery has died and it switches off. Once i plug in the power, it goes into the reboot loop again.
  • Try holding the power button down for 10 seconds.

    You may also be able to intercept one of the start-ups if you time it correctly and hold the buttons as it restarts.
  • Hi.my 520 also had same issue.
