Evening fellow cams,
I purchased two G1W-S's 18 months ago, give or take, and have been unable to update their firmware. The problem I was having is, neither would keep the date and time accurately, they would reset overnight. Both are powered via cigarette lighter plug with the OEM plug that came with the cam. Both have Transcend 64gig cards formatted with the recommended gui file from here. I read, on here, that perhaps a firmware update would solve this issue. It did not.
Additionally, when attempting to update one of them, it has completely stopped working. Neither my pc usb or the power cord in the car will power it on. Attempting to remedy this issue, thinking it was an internal contact problem at the plug, I disassembled it and gently pushed the pins in a little more - to no avail, it still does not work. Resetting it has not worked, either. I'm open to ideas and/or suggestions.
FWIW, I have replaced the dead cam with an A119S. I haven't had any issues with it since it's only been in operation for a few days.
