Hi All,
I just bought an A118C, and it was working fine, however I made the mistake of trying to power it from my fuse box instead of the car lighter adapter... I snipped off the adapter, and connected the bare wires to one of the fuses (which had 12V on ignition) and grounded the other wire.
when I finished installing the dashcam did not power on anymore. by the time I realized the adapter outputed 5V, it was too late. I believe this could have caused the issue.
the question: what now? does anyone know if this is a permanent damage, or is there a simple fix?
i was thinking tearing it down and maybe find a faulty voltage regulator, which could be easily repaired, but I thought I ask here first
thanks in advance!
