DeeGee Sep 2010 10:20pm, 26 Sep 2010 7,443 posts	DeeGee I'm pretty certain that mine's now died irrepairably. It switched off at mile 25.99 of the Robin Hood Marathon, then at mile 12.5 of the Great North Run. It was fully charged on both occasions. I charged it today. Turned it on. Was fine until I pulled it out of my pocket to go running - it was off. Pressed the on/off button. Nothing. Tried hard reset. Truned it on and switched off almost instantly. Anything else I can do? Can I get it repaired? Or is that it, and I've got to go to the shop and get a nice sparkly new 310XT?

Send back to Garmin for refurb. £50 if out of warranty for a new unit (and it's warrantied for extra 12 months so a good deal in my book).

There was a USB so I charged it using the PC. Is there something missing from the box or is the AC adaptor mentioned in the instructions something you buy separately? Charging via the PC seemed v quick so not really a big deal I suppose.

Basically you use the same USB cable as you did on the computer but from the plug to the cradle instead of the computer to the cradle...
