Hi guys,
Interesting first time issue popped up today; hopped in the car and instead of the usual startup tune, the sound was looping the start-up chime in a manner of which i could best describe as the scene from the movie Contact when Elle first hears the signal from Vega... (because this movie scene youtube[dot]com/watch?v=O9G5lrxTF6k&t=23 is the first thing that came to mind, hah)
Powered it off via pulling the adapter out of the cigarette socket and the camera sort of did the terminator-eye shutdown, (as in, the eye slowly going out). Removed the card and sure enough the camera powered up fine. Shutdown and reinserted card, back to sqaure one.
Once home, popped card in computer and could read videos fine, except no recordings for the video on trip to the lead-up to when i jumped in the card and noticed the issue.
I've had the cam/card for about 16-17 months now. Mem card is a Samsung 64GB pro variant. around 50 mins of driving 6 days per week. I've also sort of babied the camera as well, if it is forecast really hot or really sunny, i've removed the cam and placed it in the glovebox out of direct sun. It even has one aircon vent dedicated to blowing air near the camera
Still on the computer and untouched as far as formatting goes, I then copied about 40GB of known data to it which then i checksummed to check integrity which it passed. I then reformatted, uploaded latest firmware onto the card, and then updated the camera, reset factory defaults, then formatted card again (all in-camera).
Sound like a failing card that i should monitor?
