I got an 0806 for Christmas.
On Christmas day I connected it to its' GPS base and then powered the base from my laptop using the supplied USB cable.
All was fine and I recorded several minutes of video.
After downloading the MOV files they played smoothly.
I then put it back in its' box.
Two weeks ago I took it out of the box set it upas before and tested it before installing it in my car.
This time only the red led came on when power was supplied and the buttons were inoperable.
The off button was inoperable and after removing power the red led continued to be lit until the battery was exhausted.
If power is supplied when the battery is flat the unit works for about 30 seconds and then dies.
