Identify the Issue with Your Garmin Venu
- Check if the device's screen is clean. Dirt, dust, and grease can interfere with the touchscreen functionality.
- Ensure that any screen protector is appropriately aligned and not interfering with screen sensitivity.

Perform a Soft Reset

- Release the button when you see the Garmin logo appear, indicating the device has been reset.
Check for Software Updates
- Connect your Garmin Venu to your computer using the provided USB cable or sync with the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone.
- Use Garmin Express on your computer or the Garmin Connect app to check for and install any available software updates.
Factory Reset Your Device
- Open the settings menu on your Garmin Venu. If the touch isn't responsive, you might need to navigate using buttons, if applicable, or try multiple resets.
- Look for the system settings and find "Restore Defaults" or "Factory Reset" options.
- Follow on-screen instructions to perform the reset. Be aware that this will erase all data on the device, so ensure that you have backed up any important information.
