Hi everyone I have had my 305 since Xmas 07 and just now when I have gone to charge it and turn it on nothing is coming up on the screen! I'm wondering if my 305 had had it? If it has i'll be very sad as I use it alot I use it when I race in the winter most weeks! Could this usage contributated to what is going on?? Also I use it when my squad had our monthly time trial in the summer! Looking forward to see replys!
Cheers Brandon Nairn(WC)

At 3+ years, I think you've got a fair service life out of it. Do leave it on charge overnight, see if it comes good in the morning (I once recovered an ipod this way). If it is getting power on charge, try a hard reset as well. I wouldn't think your use of it has cause the issue, when the lithium battery gives in, it does seem to just totally give in.

Try a reset, press the "Mode" and "Reset" buttons at the same time. Let go of those two buttons, press the power button, and the unit hopefully will turn back on.
