Google saves the day!

We all have them, some are large, some are small, some private, some in the open, some are personal, some are shared, they contain various bits and pieces, that spot where all our daily junk ends up, in our house we have several, but typically all my “stuff” tends to congregate around my laptop which lives on our dining table. It’s accompanied and surrounded by multiple USB cables and gadgets; iPod, headphones, Nike+ chip, Forerunner, camera, HR strap and cases for everything; you know the general running, blogging, life stuff that we use on a day to day basis and then drive ourselves nuts looking for when it's not in our stuff spot

Anyway I am usually pretty good about syncing my Forerunner up when I’ve finished, if nothing else to keep it charged up. So it was with some concern that I noticed I had a blank screen, no mention of “Charge in Progress” or “Charge Complete”, several different USB cables and a second charging cradle later I still had nothing, nada, zip!

I remembered reading through the ultralist of a handy reset but I had recently emptied my ultralist folder in Outlook so there was nothing to be found there, a quick search on Google and I was sorted. So I present to you the reset procedure for a blank or locked screen, no pay attention it's pretty complicated, ready? OK here we go; press the Mode and Lap button at the same time, press the On button, revel in the cheerful chirp as it powers on and you good to go! That’s it, thank you and goodnight!

  6. I remember having to do the same steps when I semi-killed mine back in December. The only problem was, the steps didn't work. Cause I ACTUALLY killed mine.

    It was a sad moment, especially since I was 8,000 miles away from a place to get it fixed.

  7. I'll remember that piece of advice. Actually I probably won't. I'll have to re-visit if it ever happens to me.
