Hi,
Today I bought the bicycle computer in lidl. I have it all set up but the "computer" wont turn on. I've insterted the battery which took a while believe it or not and it just won't start. If anyone knows what's wrong please reply. Thanks.

I bought one of these back in April and it works fine. In fact it had more functionality than the more expensive one I have now. Maybe you just got a faulty one. Bring it back and get a replacement. Good Luck.

Doublecheck this.

Incidentally, I got one a few months ago, and its brilliant. Wireless, intergrated HRM, call me Ronald because I'm lovin' it.

Tryed to exchange it for a new one but they were all sold out so I got my money back. Can anyone recommend an affordable bike computer with as many functions as the lidl one?

just buy an edge 500 and be done with it
