New toy // at 00:00
Purchased Thursday, arrived Friday, broken Saturday! Saturday morning
I plugged the Edge into the laptop and turned it on, it fired up the
Garmin software, declared that there was no data to download (so I
guess I didn't record anything on the ride home yesterday) and then
powered it off.
After that I found I couldn't switch it on at all, and plugging it in to the laptop results in a Windows message telling me that the device is faulty and needs to be either unplugged and plugged back in, or replaced.
Later in the evening I could switch it on, but it promptly turned itself off again. Dead flat battery? I fully charged it Friday afternoon and it was only on for twenty minutes or so! Annoyingly, I'd left the charger at work so I couldn't investigate further.
Today I plugged the Edge into the charger at 9am and left it on until it said fully charged, noon, three hours later! No idea how it can have completely flattened the battery on Saturday, although I have my suspicions that a software bug killed it when it was disconnected from the USB cable.
