I had just fully charged my Elemnt overnight and it was fully charged. I turned it on and it was into the endless loop. The Wahoo name came on, it stayed on for about 30 seconds, then gave up, ad infinitum. There was no way to turn it off.

I came here for advice and immediately misread the instructions on Hard Reset. Instead of Power + Right Button for 10 seconds, I did Power + Center Button for 10 seconds. This also worked. The unit turned off and when I restarted it, it came on properly with nothing lost.

What causes this? Is there a firmware change that would fix it?
