Good Day,
I purchased the A119 V1 back in August 2016. Haven't had any problems until January 2021 when I noticed the last file was always corrupted. I believe this to be a capacitor problem. I see from the forum that some people have replaced capacitors and gotten their camera working. I also had a DOD LS430w (purchased June 2016) with a battery and that crapped out around the same time as the A119. I was wondering what sort of life cycle (years?) should I expect from a dashcam and from a capacitor? Is 4 years for a dashcam or a capacitor short? What has been peoples experience with the Viofo A119 V3 or the A129 Plus Duo? The reason that I ask is I amtrying to decide if it is worth it to replace the capacitor or just toss the cameras and upgrade to maybe the 119 V3 or the A129 Plus Duo.
thanks.
