Solutions to fix Garmin Forerunner 255 Won’t Turn On
1. Check the charging ports
The Garmin Forerunner 255 is powered by a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. But before you replace a faulty battery, try cleaning the charging points first. If the charging ports are clogged or dirty, it is likely the cause why the Garmin forerunner 255 won’t turn on.
Clean charging points by rubbing alcohol using a fabric or cotton swab. For hard-to-remove dirt, use a small brush to clean the dirt.
