Newton won't charge or connect

Pretty self explanatory actually.
The connector has been a bit loose for a long time but always connected.
Now I can't get it to connect and I tried multiple connection cables.
Any advice on how to proceed?

FW 5 updated and no longer auto-pausing

I recently updated my Newton to FW 5 and noticed a problem. On a number of recent trainer sessions I am noticing that the data continues to record when I pause. The donwloads to Isaac look great, I dont see the pauses there; nor do the pauses show up on Trainerroad where I am transmitting power data...

Re: GPX merge

All I am doing is merging correct GPS data into my file via Issac. I know the data is correct because I upload the original file first to check that the GPS track is right. The GPS coverage is also confirmed by Strava via complete GPS tracks from multiple others on group rides. The issue of the waho...

Re: GPX merge

GPS data is through iPhone and Strava app.
I have a Wahoo fitness ant+ dongle which is connecting to the Newton in ride.
I have my doubts about Strava's data, as I said originally, but Im more concerned with getting the GPS track right.

GPX merge

I am having an issue with GPX merge into my ride files. Strava does not seem to do power very well when you consider the post ride analysis adjustments Isaac does, so I always try to upload my corrected files. When I upload to Strava I almost always get large sections of the ride that are recorded a...

Sensor issues

I have found that my Newton requires me to run a scan at every ride and sometimes loses connection with the sensor in ride as well (fresh battery or not and same with a Garmin and a Wahoo sensor). Its a bit annoying and could live with it but for the fact that when racing the scan inevitably picks u...

I blamed myself for the first 2 I broke, that I made them too tight. They broke on the upper mount around the bolt holes. This third one though, not tight at all, broke at the bottom strap 6 o'clock position. Has anyone else experienced this? Is the plastic too brittle? Any DIY solutions? Im thinkin...

Heart Rate Disappeared

Newton displays heart rate live but since April 6 it has not recorded my heart rate data.
Everything else works fine. I am up to date with Isaac and FW. I have not changed heart rate straps.
Any ideas?
