help me revive my Garmin 305

This morning I used my 305 and everything was fine. I went to download it to the computer and it wouldn't come up. The screen was balnk. I took it off the charger and tried to turn it on and it won't turn on now. How do I bring it back to life. I know there is a little trick but, I can't remember what it is.

Thanks!

I'm almost positive the hard reset is mode + lap(reset). Same thing happened to mine a while back. If that doesn't work, look on page 5 or 6 of the manual. On the page where it mentions a normal reset, the hard reset instructions are at the bottom.

This happened to mine on Monday. I found the answer on the Garmin web site. Put the watch on the docking cradle, and hold down Mode and Lap(rese) for 10 seconds then power it up...should be good to go.
