from the motion based site:
You can try a soft reset. Press mode and reset. Then try to power on while plugged in.
A hard reset will delete all your data and settings from the Forerunner. Press the Power and the Mode button until the unit comes on and asks if you want to erase all user data. Select Yes.
If the above won't work, try a hard reset that by-passes the confirmation screen. Press Mode, Reset and Power.
Finally, you can try to reload the firmware to the device. Download the latest firmware from Garmin's web site. Plug the Forerunner into the computer. Press and hold the UP Arrow. Press the power button to power the unit on. Continue to hold the up arrow. Run the firmware upgrade. Continue to hold the up arrow through the entire upgrade.
ive done the soft and hard resets when it locks up. powered back up.
