I have the A119v3 PURCHASED 2019
I have a 64gb Sandisc ultra micro card, 2019
When I turn ign on it says format card. (has only just started doing this today)
I push the Menu button, but nothing happens.
On my computer I have formatted with SD card Formatter, but when SD is in the camera it says format sd card.
I plug the camera into the comp' & the camera says Please format the Micro SD card.
But it does nothing. Pushing the Menu button just says the same thing seems not to want to go into Menu.
I fully understand I must be doing something wrong.

I have now changed the 64gb for a new 32gb Sandisk, tried 2 of them.

What is the format of the 32Gb card ?

FAT FAT32 NTFS

Windows will let you format a 32Gb card to FAT32 that should allow the dashcam to recognise and format it.
 
Just says SD card formatter. Got link from here.

Also done on the comp' Fat32 with Windows 10
 
Agree. I was also thinking about checking that all the contacts are clean and the card is inserting correctly, fully.
 
OK all back working.
I left it alone for a couple of hours & wallah all working.
As I had new SD cards I made sure the terminals were cleaned.
I think the camera didn't like being fiddled with :( but all sorted.... (for now)
Thanks for the suggestions anyway Guys, much appreciated. :)
