Subject: garmin 410x issues....options?
So I got a garmin 410 in may, the LCD light stopped working 2 months ago now HR monitor says I have a hr of 250 when jogging (I changed the battery and still the same)...and the usb ship case just came off 2 minutes ago.  So my question is 1.) has anyone had any of these issues 2.) I am still within my 1 year warranty, but will they send me a new one or just try to repair all the issues....at his point I'm super disappointed and hopin they just give me a new one before I switch to another company....

1.  Is your backlight turned off in your settings menu?  Might wanna' check that first

2.  Do a hard reboot.  Hold down the Start and Lap buttons for a while until the screen goes blank, and then keep holding them down.

3.  if that doesn't work- call garmin Tech support.  they have all kinds of little strange ways to fix things, and they're pretty good and helpful.

4.  the high HR is probably not due to the watch.  more typically due to static.  Dry cold weather and tech shirts make it nearly impossible for the HR strap to figure out the difference between static and your HR.  Getting it good and sweaty helps.  Static Guard spray also works

In regards to the HR monitor, it seems to not matter how sweaty it is, I tried to use it on the run leg of Ironman Arizona...and it still acted up......but I will try the other idea you mentioned...thanks for the tips
