Hi have been having issues with my Garmin 55 dash cam for a while now, and almost about to get a new one, but i thought I'd try to troubleshoot this. Bit of background history. I don't have the camera for very long, approaching just over a year and purchased it brand new online. The camera was working fine for a while, but I did get a corrupt SD card message, which upon research, proved to be a memory card issue that came with the device.
I since have changed it and no issues ... for a while. Recently a new issue has come up ... Distorted live recording.
This happens randomly, whereby the the image is completely half black and purple almost; completely unusable. I have attached a screenshot of the video recording. Turning off and on the dash cam does not help, and as I said, it randomly comes like this now and then. Lately it has become a daily occurrence, to a point where the camera is useless. Version and serial are in the attachments.
I thought it may be another SD card issue, but I have recently tried two brand new SD card (compatible, i made sure with the camera) and the problem is still there.
I've also used Garmin Express to upgrade to the latest firmware/software, ver. 4.40, but still makes no difference.
I've almost given up all hope and about to purchase a new camera, but thought I'd try to ask the community if anyone out there has received or experienced similar issues. Please let me know and how you went about resolving this.
Much appreciated.
