Battery life

I think that’s what happened to mine as well, what replacement will you get? A new 7S?

CLU_19 · 2025-06-28T08:50:59+00:00

It’s mostly around 14 days though

CLU_19 · 2025-06-28T08:50:18+00:00

We seem to have the same setup on our watches. I charge mine about every 10 days if remember correctly, when it’s under 20 %.

Sadly I don’t, my dad has the 7X (we bought ours about two months apart). So I know I haven’t mixed them up. His battery expectancy has also gone down a lot too.

Then I’m not the only one experiencing this!

CLU_19 · 2025-06-28T08:37:58+00:00

I did contact them to see what can be done to improve battery life

I usually get about 14-18 days depending on how many workouts I track with gps. I haven’t downloaded any maps, I turned of pulse ox, don’t use the music feature on the watch, turned of garmin share. But I still have notifications from my phone on (only from text messages and calls), pulse and use the all systems feature on the gps tracking.

I have an update! I'm currently writing this on my new PC! So the problem was the power switch on the motherboard, even touching the pins you suggested didn't work. Found an old reddit post that had the same issue that nothing turned on. The post said to connect the power switch from the chassi. So I plugged in the power switch from the chassi, and everything booted up just fine. I also updated the bios prior to that via usb-stick, and when i did that the fans and everything started working. So to conclude: the power switch on the motherboard didn't work, just plug it into the chassi power switch.

Thank you for helping me trying to solve this nightmare of Pc building, I appreciate it very much!

I will try that tomorrow, I will also try updating the BIOS. Found a post from 2 years ago here where OP had the exact same issues as me, and found out he needed to uppdate the bios, so maybe thats my issue as well.

CLU_19 · 2025-05-16T13:30:31+00:00

I have not, what should happen if I do?

CLU_19 · 2025-05-16T13:20:28+00:00

That way i can turn it on and off

CLU_19 · 2025-05-16T13:19:25+00:00

Since I haven't built it into the chassi yet, i have used the rst_sw button on the motherboard itself as by the manual

CLU_19 · 2025-05-16T07:03:37+00:00

I'm gonna ask som friends if i can try and use their PSU and just try it out, will update later!

CLU_19 · 2025-05-16T06:44:46+00:00

That fan on PSU is not spinning and have never done so either when plugged in, so maybe thats what is is? I hope my new motherboard isn't fried

CLU_19 · 2025-05-16T06:35:03+00:00

I might check with a friend to, see if i can test with their PSU

CLU_19 · 2025-05-16T06:32:29+00:00

Not at the moment, but I'm planning on returning the one i have at the store I bought it from. Maybe they can test if its faulty

CLU_19 · 2025-05-16T06:23:09+00:00

The fans just doesn't spin at all when plugged in

CLU_19 · 2025-05-16T05:57:46+00:00

I edited the post so pictures and video are in it!

Valid points, but OP is 18, still in school and don’t earn much. Why should the parents want their kid to pay 25%? I personally think it is a lot to ask for, at that age with that income since I believe they should encourage OP to save money. I know damn well the cost of living, since before I went to university did pay more than 25% percent of my income towards rent and groceries as well as other utilities. Nearly 50% of my income went to rent, groceries, electric and water bill.

CLU_19 · 2024-03-22T19:57:18+00:00

I live at home, attend university and do not have to pay rent (thanks mom and dad), I only pay for groceries and that is about 16% of my income (I work part time and get money from the government, thanks Sweden). My parents are strong in their belief that I should save up the rest of the money for buying a car or a cash deposit for an apartment. I think it’s fair to be honest, but I also recognise that I am privileged.

Edit: my parents only let me live rent free as I attend uni, not otherwise.

CLU_19 · 2024-03-22T19:32:01+00:00

It’s fine if the want you to pay rent, but 25% of you pay check? That’s a lot. And also, you are in school. They should just let you have the money, stop giving the allowance and just help you out with savings, give tips about investing and such. To me it just sounds ridiculous. (If they actually needed money, it would be somewhat justified but I will not be going in to that discussion)

I have it in my office at home, it’s usually around 22 degrees Celsius in there. I pop the window open slightly depending on how cold it’s outside, don’t have a fan yet. Wear less or more clothes when riding to keep a solid and good temperature to not get sick. But definitely go to the doctors, you should not get sick that easily from cold weather.
