Jan 2009 3:07pm, 26 Jan 2009 First-time poster!!	I can't seem to switch my 305 on. It's not completely dead as I get the charging messages when plugged in. I've tried the various resets too. When I press the rubber over any of the buttons other than the power one, I can feel the button underneath being depressed. I can't feel anything on the power button, but don't know if this button was always like that. If not, then it looks like the switch is the problem, if it is I need to look elsewhere. Any ideas?

Plugged it into the usb, it beeped as per usual but to begin with i couldn't import the data and on closer inspection now i cannot switch the garmin (305) itself back on. It was fully charged before the run so it cannot be a flat battery. Any brainwaves?
