In early January I bought an A119S with GPS mount. Everything worked great, and I've been using it with the same 32 gig card the entire two months I've owned it.
On Monday, I captured an accident and needed to pull the footage. I did what I have always done previously: remove the SD card after the camera has powered off, put the card in my PC's card reader, pull the file, replace SC card in camera while still powered off.
The next day, when my dashcam powered on, the screen turned blue and kept flashing "Please insert TF card" while beeping. If I hit the menu button while the message isn't displayed, I can access the menu, but when I select "Format" it says "No card". Other devices still read the card without issue
I've tried formatting the card to FAT32 using both the Windows utility and the suggested formatting utilities with no luck.
I've also tried multiple SD cards in the dashcam and it won't read those either.
As a last resort I tried resetting the dashcam. This also didn't resolve the issue.
Is there anything else I should try before contacting the seller for a return, or is this thing really dead?
