This troubleshooting page will help you diagnose mounting problems with the Garmin Edge 530. If your cycling computer falls out of the mount often, won't connect at all, or seems loose on the mount even when installed properly, use this page to stop dropping your Garmin and get back to dropping your buddies.

Many times, the mount used to secure the Garmin Edge 530 in place during a ride will fail. If you notice your device coming disconnected from the mount, notice visible defects in the mount, or see that the mount itself is disconnecting from your bike, you may have a faulty mount.

Summary: If the mount itself is not at fault, you may have a defect in the back cover of your Garmin Edge. Look for obvious breaking or warping of back structures. If the piece is broken, follow instructions found on the Garmin Edge 530 Back Cover Replacement to replace the faulty part.
