Title: Garmin 205 not beeping Post by: Jon Allen on February 28, 2012, 07:50:12 pm Anyone had their Garmin 205 stop beeping and know how to fix it? Mine has decided that it can't make a peep anymore which is rather annoying.

I think some Garmins must be possessed. For 1 full year my Garmin was in some weird mode where I would have to do a full reset never once but always twice just to get it to turn on. Then magically after a year it started working mostly normal again, except some days it just turns off randomly during a run. What the heck? Mine has also mostly lost the beeping ability, but not completely as it will still sometimes beep but just super quietly.
