Edge 520 stopped connecting to all my power meters.

All of a sudden, my 520 stopped displaying and recording my power output. It first happened mid ride on my road bike using Garmin Vector 3 power pedals and thought the issue was with them. So I changed the batteries in my pedals, and still no power. I went out the next day on my MTB that has a Stages crank arm power meter and the same thing is happening, no power. So this seems to be a headset issue and not a power meter issue. The headset is still connecting to my HR, cadence, and speed sensors, just not my power meters. All worked fine just the other day and have not updated anything and the issue started all of a sudden mid-ride. Anyone know what's going on or have a solution?

    Mine is dropping my HRM. I have to restart the 520 and repair the Garmin HRM. This problem only started a few months ago. Worked seamlessly before that. Just got the 520 update, will see if that solves it.

    How did you solve this issue?

    So I did a reset on the headset and changed all the batteries on all sensors.  That worked except my Vector 3 pedals were still not registering any power.  I took them in to my local bike shop and they noticed that on the left side, the spindle had slightly became separated from the pedal and was causing the battery compartment not to make contact.  They tightened it up and that did the trick.  Everything is working as it should now.
