Hi everyone,
Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I couldn't find a solution for my problem after doing several searches. I've had my RC500s dual channel dash cam for about 3 years now. It's hard wired with the DOD hardwire kit and I have the latest firmware FWI5GEMI installed. Until this morning it has been working perfectly without a glitch both in driving and parking modes. However, when I got in the car this morning, I noticed the lights on the dash cam were not illuminated. When I checked the DOD hardwire kit, the green light was on and the light on the cigarette lighter power socket was on too. I switched the hardwire kit off and back on several times without success. I reformatted the SD card and copied the latest firmware on the root thinking that might get the cam to start but still no luck. There is obviously power going from the hardwire kit to the dash cam but I'm baffled as to why it won't turn on. Am I missing something or has the dash cam just decided to die overnight? As this model is one of the best dash cams on the market I thought it would last longer than 3 years. I would appreciate if anyone would know why this might be happening. Thank you all in advance!
