I'm new to the world of dash cams so decided to go for the garmin 56 after reading good reports about it only had it less than a fortnight and everything was great till this evening went out stopped at the shops turned itself off as normal but when i got back into the car wouldn't start up power light was on so there was defiantly juice going to it so disconnected it and the power light stayed on the camera and could not get response from any of the control buttons on the side so it looks like i'll have to take it back to the place of purchase
 
since me writing the first post the power light has now gone out
 
How do you power it ?
 
First thing to try is to take the card out and turn it on (use factory supplied power adapter)
If it starts up, try with the card. If it keeps freezing, use different (better) card.
 
tried all those with no result less than 2 weeks old will be taking it back for it to be exchanged
 
Weird issues like this are usually caused by SD card or cable/adapter. If you tried a high quality SD card with the supplied cable/adapter and it still doesn't work, return it.
