I have an SJ4000 (not PLUS or WiFi) that was working perfectly on the firmware it came with in mid 2014.
Like a fool, this morning I downloaded the 4000 latest firmware v1.7 from the SJCAM website, followed the install procedure and have ended up with a camera that has a black screen and a solid blue light and no orange/yellow light on top.
I have tried every bin file for the 4000 I can find on the internet and the camera does not seem to want to load any of them.
The camera has the logo below the lens, and when it was working the startup screen did not say 'welcome' but did have the graphic of the camera and the little coloured rectangles under the SJ4000 lettering.
I now realise that upgrading this cam is a little more complicated - so it serves me right that I've bricked it.
I have tried the solutions listed in another topic https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/bricked-sj4000.22135/ but sadly nothing seems to work.
When I hit the power button I get a little jingle and the solid blue light, and the yellow light comes on briefly.
If I press the OK button again no light comes on.
If I connect the cam to a computer it doesn't turn on automatically.
If I then power it up the computer still doesn't see it until I press the OK button.
Please, if anyone can think of something to get this SJ4000 working again I'd be so grateful.
Best Regards
Andy
