Well, Garmin offer an exchange/repair service at a standard flat rate of £646.15 plus shipping, but only offer a six month warranty. So that would give me an old part worn and obsolete trainer, for almost the cost of a new unit. They also offer a discount on a new unit. No wonder we live on a polluted planet with such a disposable item philosophy!
Anyway, with nothing to lose I decided to take it all apart and have a look. The pcb had no sign of fried components and when I started to remove it the red power light came on. That told me two things. First to disconnect it and secondly something had changed for the better!
So I disconnected and reconnected all the internal cables and put it back together. It is working again, but no ant+. Tried Zwift and everything is perfect via Bluetooth. No idea how long it will last. Hopefully until we are back to a situation where trainers are available again (maybe even a glut of used ones!) and I can get a KICKR!
