My G1W was working great for many weeks. Unfortunately it has developed a strange behavior.
At first, it would stop recording every once in a while. I could tell when, because the screen would come on, the time would show "3:11" and the recording indicator (red blinking circle) would not be visible. Clicking the "REC" button would cause the time shown to change (to something like "4:27" or "5:08"), and another press of the "REC" button would cause it to start recording again. Since this only happened about once a week, I wasn't too worried. Plus, I could tell when it was happening.
Lately, it stops recording all the time. What is worse, the screen stays off, so I don't know when it is occurring. If I press the "zoom out" button I can see if it is recording or not. When it is not recording, pressing "REC" twice (as before) gets it to start again. Sometimes it will keep recording for 20 minutes or so, sometimes it will fail again after another 3 minutes and 11 seconds. One time, it showed 3 minutes and 12 seconds.
Any guesses, or others with similar problem? I am thinking about purchasing another one, perhaps this one just went bad...
