Re: Re:

Can a Garmin be serviced/repaired?

Which one is it? I think they can be repaired if you send ut back to garmin, depends what's wrong with it though. If it's more than a couple of years old it's probably uneconomical to get it repaired I would have thought.

Depends. There’s YouTube clips for battery changes. Presumably other stuff too?

Re:

Yeah try connecting it to your pc and Garmin Express or Garmin connect and see if there's an update waiting for it.
Can probably do it by a your phone if it connects to your Garmin by Bluetooth?

Also maybe delete your ride history on your Garmin device.

Re:

Open it as an external device on your pc. Not via website. Then go through folders to find the ride files. They will have dates in their names. Delete them and then unplug it and restart.
