Toadie Jul 2013 8:59pm, 22 Jul 2013 421 posts	0 Toadie Oh I know someone who had a similar problem with her 110 - it just stopped logging the starts of runs. I think it turned out it was because there wasn't much space left on the watch. But I don't know how you delete old runs I'm afraid...

You search for the drive/folder on your computer that shows all the FIT files (something like - E:\Garmin\Activities\ ) then highlight your old runs and delete them. Just make sure you don't delete anything else!

Bluebell2325 Jul 2013 11:01am, 23 Jul 2013 335 posts	0 Bluebell2325 I used to have that problem on my old one J123 - I eventually found the right jiggling technique to locate the contacts into the holes correctly. Infuriating if not connected properly and it's still flat when you go back to it. Listen for the beep and watch the screen change to ensure it is actually charging. Never found a solution and presumed it was a design thing.
Toadie Jul 2013 11:32am, 23 Jul 2013 423 posts	0 Toadie It's almost impossible to line up the contacts and get it to connect. It drives me CRAZY, takes me at least five tries every time.

Hmmm there must be a correct visual line to see looking profile or something ( when the correct Jiggling Technique is used). To be honest I'd got so used to it being a time consuming job I'd forgotten to try to find a more efficient method
