Updated and Problem Solved.
Problem was not the Garmin 56 cam or software but my cheap power wall plugin charger and cable I used.
Must be a weak connection and was showing power loss and then back on again and the camera was just trying to keep up.
LOL
Here is my Problem/Symptoms in detail
I have a new Garmin Dash Cam 56. Fully charged battery with external power.
Updated software using Garmin Express to V3.40
Removed from computer and finalized software install while on external power.
All went well without any problems.
I started it back up while on external power and it starts but within a few seconds I get a white screen that pops up from the right saying "Turn off in 5, Recordings stops"
This pops up every 3 to 5 seconds and never counts down from 5.
What I have done
Reformatted memory card with camera.
Reset camera by resetting to factory defaults.
Held the power button down for 13 seconds to reset
After all this it still keep popping up that white screen saying "Turn off in 5, Recordings stops"
Now here is what I did next.
Ran camera on its battery power and I do not get any countdown screen
The screen goes blank in 1 minute like normal
Then plugged into external power and it continues ok and screen stays blank
Now after I’m going to guess 10 to 15 minutes I hear a beep and look at the camera and the screen is now on.
It then has that count down screen shows up and now counts down from 5 to 0 and the screen goes off like normal.
Another 10 min pass and I hear a beep again and the screen is now on again.
and the countdown screen shows and the screen goes off in 5 seconds.
2 minutes pass and the screen is now back on and the countdown screen shows up and goes away and doesn’t count down at all and the screen stays on.
Now all I get is a beep and that countdown screen shows up and goes away and doesn’t do a thing and the screen stays on until the next time it beeps and that countdown sreen shows up.
Do you think it’s time to return to Amazon or is there something I’m just missing?
