Battery Charging indicator Question

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi,

I just puchased the Forerunner 235 and think I may possibly have a defective unit. It has been plugged in for 45 minutes and there is no indication that it is charging at all. All I see is the charging symbol with a red bar indicating no charge. It does not display any percentage and there is no visible signs that there is action of any kind. Seems unusual to me. I have tried using a different port and also an external wall charger. And wiggled the contact clip just to make sure it was seated properly. I will leave it plugged in of course to see. Thanks for any help.

Nick

Did you already try to reset the watch?

If the device stops responding, you may need to reset it.

NOTE: Resetting the device may erase your data or settings.
Hold for 15 seconds.
The device turns off.

Hold for one second to turn on the device.

No I didn't. It is a new device. Shouldn't have to. I just came back after 3 hours and still nothing. I will try the reset. It's worth a shot. But since it has zero charge I don't anticipate having much luck. Probably have to send it back.

Actually that did fix it. Thanks. Odd that I had to reset a new unit. Glad I don't have to send it back.
