It started yesterday and it isn't working any more.
I adjusted the magnet and it still doesn't work. What else could it be? The cadence is still working...

check/change transmitter unit battery
Look for damage to wire, if not wireless. Try removing and reinstalling computer into mount if it is wired as well.

You may have dirt under the monitor unit, easy fix. I get this 3-4 times a year
from rain etc.
Remove unit from handlebar mount. The monitor slides out and may be by a plastic clip, bend down, you'll see it.
CLEAN the connections on the back of the monitor, it may be 2 little metal dots.
Clean off connections on mounting unit that is on the handlebar.
A bit of alcholol on a paper towel or just water.
Re-Mount, Spin wheel and see if it the screen indicates speed.
if it does, you're done. If not try again.

I did all the stuff and finally decided to check the manual. I lined up the sensor on the wrong area. Thanks for all the help!
