Tried new batteries, tried rescanning, nothing worked. I rang garmin, and basically the strap is f** I bought a new strap (the new soft one) and it's all fine now.

bjworld Jul 2010 1:34pm, 25 Jul 2010 73 posts	bjworld Help please, having problems with Mr. Garmin at the moment (305). Last week he claimed his battery was low and promptly switched off, and I was sure I'd charged him up. Anyway, put him on charge again and now he won't turn on at all! Is the battery knackered? If so will I have to send him back to Garmin to have a new battery put in? thanks

Miight this have happened BJ?

AlanO Aug 2010 1:21pm, 4 Aug 2010 254 posts	AlanO I'm trying to download my training onto Fetch from my Garmin but an error message appears stating "Garmin PlugIN Not Detected". My Garmin Software is loaded on to my PC and I can download my training. Any tips on how to transfer to Fetch
paul the builder Aug 2010 1:33pm, 4 Aug 2010 1,892 posts	paul the builder Not sure what you mean by "Garmin Software is loaded to my PC" Alan - do you mean Garmin connect, or Training Centre, or whatever they call that stuff?? (I don't use it, I use SportTracks instead). If so, then you still have to download the Garmin Communicator - when you're on the Add Training Automatically page and getting that error, to the right of that page are links to the Garmin Communicator download. If you have already done that, then apologies. My only other suggestion is that I couldn't make it work either with Internet Explorer, but it seems to work fine with Firefox. So I always use Firefox for Fetch training stuff now.
macca53 Aug 2010 4:22pm, 4 Aug 2010 8,509 posts	macca53 the last time I went away with work I took my Garmin and thought it would be easy to download the two runs I did (with a day's rest between them) when I got back. Unfortunately it dealt with the run as one continuous run with a very long interval:( - is there a way to make it realise that you have really finished for the day, want to store the run and then start another one before you download the whole lot when you get back home?
