Has my Nextbase 422 GW Series 2 died on me? My car is a 2019 Ford Fiesta Active.
Discovered my 422GW has stopped recording video, occasionally it will write the filename/datestamp but filesize is zero, no video file.
If I tap the screen it will take a still photo and write to sd card. If I press the emergency button the padlock on screen does not show and no file is written into protected folder. T G sensor does not pick up knocks on any setting, not writing into protected folder.
If I remember correctly the red or blue lights in bottom left corner used to alternate on & off when driving, only the red & blue light are now static, also the screen will not turn off now although the setting for screen to turn off while driving is set.
I have tried the reset button two or three times but it does not fix things.
I have tried two Nextbase SD cards, a 128gb, also a brand new just out the packet nextbase 32gb card, both formatted to X Fat. The latest firmware on
the dashcam is R21.8
The dashcam is now 2 yrs old and has worked flawlessly up till now.
The fact that a photo (jpeg) can be written to the sd card but not video makes me think the dashcam has developed a fault on the video side of things, and not the Nextbase SD cards.
So guys, do you think the some of the internals in Dashcam has died?
I'd consider getting another 422gw series 2 from amazon as I have a £50 amazon voucher to spend which will help the cost of a new one, I already have the polarizer & rear view add on cam. it would be a straight swap on to the mount as its already hardwired to the car. Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
