Hi All:

New member here. I have a garmin edge 605 that I have revived (mostly) from rain exposure. It was dropped on a trail and was in the rain/moisture for at least 2 days. I got it cleaned up and it will start up, but it gets stuck at the locating satellites screen, with the bar going maybe 1/4 across the screen before restarting. I have left it out for 2 hours, with no change.

Steps that I have done so far:
1. replaced the battery - old one was trashed
2. hard reset
3. downloaded the latest software via web updater.
4. cleaned out all old files (.tcx) and history files

not sure if this is a software problem that can be fixed or if there is an issue with the chipset or antenna. I have searched google for this problem and it seems to never have been solved except for sending back to garmin. Any thoughts? Appreciate any help.

this site is a fantastic resource. I have about 10 Garmin devices and nice to have a place to go for help!
