Hello there, first time post and looking for some help please. I had a 522GW and rear camera fitted using a hard wire kit at Halfords at the end of August this year. It has been working flawlessly. Until yesterday. I noticed after I had been driving a couple of minutes that the display was constantly rebooting to the splash screen, clicking powering off, before going back to the splash screen, over an over again.The red recording and blue charging LEDs were cycling as well. When I stopped and removed the camera from the mount, I was unable to power it up. I brought it inside and connected the camera to a charger via the USB lead and it started straight away. I did a factory reset, and formatted the SD card and all seemed well. I left the camera on charge overnight and when I came back to it this morning the blue LED was off indicating (I think) it was fully charged. I disconnected the camera from the USB and left it switched off. However, when I came to put the camera back in the car about 3 hours later I noticed before placing it in the mount that the battery was down to one bar. When I put the camera back in the mount the camera powered on and the battery icon showed that it was charging. But after about 3 minutes, the camera went back into the splash screen / reboot loop and I'm back where I started. Any suggestions as to what might have gone wrong, and gone wrong so suddenly?
