Garmin GPSMap 62s won't calibrate compass

As the title says, the 62s is no longer able to calibrate the compass. No compass is showing, only the text saying I should calibrate. When I try, I get the error message on first stage, and it won't go any further. Any tips? It used to work fine, and I have no idea what has happened to it. I have tried to do a reset (enter and page on startup, but that did not help)

I was having the same trouble lately, and soft reset was not working. Reloading unit with caches from GSAK did nothing. I updated the firmware, went caching, and at some point in my caching today, I tried to calibrate. Still no luck. Came home today, reloaded the same firmware, disconnected from the computer, went outside right away (before doing anything else with unit), and that worked. I was finally able to calibrate.
