I've had my Varia RTL515 for 18 months now and it's been largely fine. Though it has occasionally thrown a wobbler, each time resetting it and re-pairing it has sorted it. This time however it's toast.
Nothing particular has happened to cause this AFAIK. I turn it on and the light comes on, and the LED goes into the flashing purple "ready for pairing" mode. However within about 5-10 seconds it then changes to the rapid green flashing (normally indicates charging) but turns itself off completely in 2-3 seconds.
This has happened gradually. At first I tried resetting by holding down the button for 8 seconds then re-pairing it as normal, and this seemed to work but the flashing purple light didn't go out and it stopped responding to the Edge 530 after a few minutes and turned off. Tried this a couple of times, but it stopped responding after a shorter time. I've also tried fully recharging it. When plugged in it shows the flashing green light for maybe 5-10 minutes, then shows constant green light indicating fully charged. I've left it on for a few hours to make sure but this hasn't changed it.
