How To Hard Reset Joule?

 Having some issuee the past couple of days with my Joule and have an FT test this morning.    Only change I have made to the CPU in the past several months is add the heart rate monitor.  Did do one ride with HRM after pairing it without issue.  Issues started on the next ride.  

1 - Saturday:  Joule started rebooting/restarting by itself on a ride.

2 - Updated the firmware and it no longer reboots, but now the INTERVAL button doesn't work and the JOYSTICK doesn't work to move around screen (but does work when pushing it down to change display settings).

Figured I would try a hard reset to factory spec and see if that fixes the issue.  But can't find anywhere that tells me how to do that?

 

Any help is appreciated.

  • I have a pretty similar problem after a firmware update the other day as well. I looked all day yesterday for a hard reset online to no avail. Tried taking battery out for 5 minutes that didn't work. I lost the ability to view NP/IF on the dashboard no matter what I put in power agent.
    Good luck, keep me informed what you find out I'll do the same.
  • Oh Crap! I just updated the firmware on my Joule this morning. Guess I will have to see if I am having the same issues. Will let you know tonight when I get home.
  • Steve - Mine happened BEFORE the update.  The update actually helped a bit.

    I will be calling Saris first thing tomorrow.

     

  • Hi Guys:

    My issue is there is moisture that got into the unit.  I guess Stark sweat biodegrades a Joule.    I am sending back to Saris and they are going to replace no charge.

    Dan, per the Saris guy, to reset the Joule . . . . .

    In Mac:  Plug in Joule, go to Finder, look for the CYCLEOPS on the left sidebar (probably under Devices).  Click that CYCLEOPS device.  You will see a folder called Cycleops.  Simply drag that to the Trash bin and then empty the Trash.  That should do it.

    In Windows:  Find the Cycleops drive under My Computer.  Right click on it and choose to reformat.  Then do just that.

  • Thx John that worked.
  • I guess this is the season for Joules to act up. Mine shut off then began to flicker. Opened it up changed battery and now it is locked on screen that says it needs new firmware but won't be found by my cpu. Left email with customer support.......
  • Speculating but I bet you'll be sending it back.
