My forerunner 235 is just over 2 years warranty, and this is what happened: in the mid of the night, it start to beep by itself. When I look at it, it's trying to record some activity. So I tried to stop it, and the Activity button just won't work!
Tried to power down? Nope, you need the activity button. Tried to hard-reset? Nope, you need the activity button. All other 4 buttons work, just this activity button, no response. So now I'm stuck!
Tried to plug it into my computer installed with Garmin Express, and it told me that "The USB device has mal-functioned and is unable to recognize."
Anybody had a similar experience?

During the day I was playing with kids in the pool wearing this watch - but I've been always doing this in the last two years, run in the rain, go swimming, get wet, this is never a problem since it claims to be "Water-Proof"... Perhaps the "Water-Proof" thing won't hold after 2 years of warranty???

Just a follow-up note for whoever bump into this thread: I left the watch on the counter for about a month, was even thinking to throw it away and get a new one. Then one day, I charged it up, and gave it another try, and the button works...
My guess is: water got in there, mess up with the circuits; then it dried out during this month - no idea how water can get in or out of a supposedly "sealed" watch, but it's just gone - now it functions just like new.
So just like they said: time heals everything
