That might take a bit experimenting. Especially if we use super caps with different capacitance and energy storage ratings. I wish this http://au.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-BC-Components/MAL219691263E3/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMuDCPMZUZ%252bYlxdFextp0taVSY%252b6ovCDBq4%3d didn't have an MOQ of 17...

Yeah the dimensions would have to be incorrect. I saw what looked like the same type: Specifications: Hy-Cap: 2.7V-5F Dimensions: Length = 25mm, Width = 20mm, Depth = 8mm Maybe just a bit too thick to fit properly. I also saw http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/427/196hvc-463326.pdf Which claims...

A bit light on specifications (dimensions and temp rating), but they have a retrofit supercap for the Mobius on ebay. I wonder if one of these might suitable for the 0806. Also, I'm not sure if 2.7V might be just a bit too low. Edit: Saw these on another site, they are 8mm thick, so very...

Thanks Rayman. The 0806 is excellent once a few minor bugs are sorted out. I will buy another for my wife's car from the next batch.

Instead of using "Upload" in DirectUSB, try using "Download" for the elf file. Once the green bar has moved across all the way, give it several minutes to complete (it might not say "Completed" or "Success"...it didn't for me), disconnect and hold the power button for 20 seconds or so to power...

FIXED!! I completely stripped my 0806 and found a dodgy solder joint on a transistor on the CPU/NAND/sensor/lens PCB. When I had tried to power it on, while apart, only the green LED lit up very dimly and the CPU heatsink would get very warm. The dimly lit green LED could not be seen when the...

My 0806 came up with a fail on verification as well, but once the firmware is upgraded or re-installed as normal after this, it should be ok and function as usual. Keep in mind that when I tried this low level/kernel install a second time, straight after the first (to try resolving a different...

Try pressing and holding the "up" button on the camera, then plug the USB cable in. Release the "up" button and Windows should detect it so you can install/upgrade the driver with the one supplied.

Thanks all for your suggestions. It does certainly make sense that it is embedded GPS data being shown in the video playback, with the players I use. I don't think I'll get the opportunity to try playback with the 0806 I have, as it appears to be suffering from the issue some other people here...

Hopefully there is a way of turning this off. I'll try to contact @Raymond.Chan. I also think http://www.mini0806.com/1/post/2015/02/recover-bricked-mini-0806-camera.html should be removed or modified. It only works when the "Up" button is pressed and held, then USB connected. Much more...

I didn't realise altitude data was there as well. I'll try to do something with that when I can un-brick and get my 0806 working properly.

That is a good point. The metadata appears in VLC and "Videos" (a default video player in Linux Mint). I don't use Windows. The only thing is that "Videos" has "Load subtitle files when movie is loaded" disabled. I think it is also disabled by default (or the subtitle file has to be loaded) in...

Yes unfortunately. Even with the base disconnected and recording a short video, it still had that text. The only difference was, instead of the gibberish beginning with an "A" and having constantly changing values, it began with a "V" and had a lot of zero values.

Unfortunately not at the moment. I re-formatted the micro sd in the vague hope that it might help (without luck). I'll try to get one and upload today if I can un-brick my 0806.

Yes. I have tried that and changing every setting, one at a time, with no result. Changing the firmware back to original doesn't solve it either unfortunately. I even eventually tried http://www.mini0806.com/1/post/2015/02/recover-bricked-mini-0806-camera.html After the driver is installed...

After upgrading to this firmware version, my recorded videos always have gibberish across the lower part of the screen in a large font. The text continually flickers and changes values.........and is slowly driving me insane. Is there any way of getting rid of it, or is it a bug? I've tried...

For my 2 cents, I feel there should be some stress relief of the cable near the solder joints. This would make it less likely for the individual wires to keep bending right at the solder joints and spread the bending forces more along the length of the cable. It may only just require a spot of...

I received my 2nd batch 0806 earlier this week and only today had time to install it. No GPS. Sure enough, it was the green wire that had broken away from the Rx solder joint. Luckily the outer sheath hadn't rubbed and sheared yet, like yours did. A minor inconvenience and 10 minute job to...

The "G2015" code made it a bit cheaper than "MN86LG" when I ordered yesterday. http://www.gearbest.com/m-promotion-active-126.html US$122.47 (including the US$9.47 expedited shipping to Oz) There seems to be a few codes around at the moment. It is worth trying them all to see which saves the most.

Thank you. That is good to know. :)
