Forerunner 235 not charging after running out of battery

Former Member over 6 years ago

I have a Forerunner 235 for about a year and 3 months, and today, it ran out of battery and now it is not chargins, even when plugged into the pc or directly to an outlet. Any suggestions?? It is also making a sound like a regular watch... A really fast tic-tac

Leave it plugged in for a while (like 30 minutes). It might not have enough of a charge to do anything

Have you already tried a charger, maybe your phone charger?

Yes, I have, it has not changed anything.

Then I suspect your USB docking cable may be damaged (or just have had it). See if you can borrow a cable of the exact same type from a friend who also has a Garmin FR230/235/630, if you don't want to take a leap of faith and order a new cable.

That was what I thought, since it isn’t gripping as it should onto the watch, if I’m being clear, and today it came back on for about 5/10 seconds, before going out again. Thank you for your help btw
