Edge 820 Not Syncing with Express

Not sure how long this has been an issue for me as I upload the rides via Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and my phone but I connected my 820 to the PC and after finding a cable that works rather than a cable for power only it shows as connected in Garmin Express and then shows as synced but then I get an error message at the top saying 'There was an error syncing with Garmin Connect'
I've done different ports and cables on the PC and it shows as connected in Garmin Express, I've cleared all the activities and a factory reset and still getting the error message.
Given that it is connecting is my next course of action returning it back to Cycle Republic as I've only had it since February?

I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

I'm having exactly the same issue with my Edge 820.
When I press "sync" in Garmin Express it starts syncing and the bar always stops at the middle producing
the "There was an error syncing with Garmin Connect" message - like the connection times out.
Was it like that for you also ?
I'll try some different cables to check if it works for me also.

Going through the Garmin forums for Garmin Express - PC issues I found this solution that worked for me :
1. Go to Garmin device in Explorer
2. Delete folders ACTIVITY, NEWFILES, REMOTESW on the device itself
3. Eject device, restart device
4. Plug in device, sync again
... if the above don't help, then:
1. Quit Garmin Express
2. Eject Garmin device, restart device
3. Go to %ProgramData%\Garmin\CoreService\Devices
4. Move the folder corresponding to the problem device elsewhere
5. Restart Garmin Express
6. Plug in Garmin device
7. Sync again
