Hi folks,
Used my Mobius as a dashcam for a while now and it worked pretty well. Just replaced it and discovered the reason for the random switching off - battery had swelled up like a puffer fish so presumably it had shut down after overheating a few times.
Anyway, bought a new battery and I am now using it as an action cam and it seems to work well (need to tweak the settings). Been using it in conjuction with the JooVuu waterproof case and it has been fantastic. No leaks at all even when snorkelling.
Anyway, noticed the other day a bit of moisture on the cam when I removed it from the case so not sure if a seal was trapped. It wasn't soaking and seemed to have recorded OK. However, the green light was on which I gather from the manual may mean it needs charging. Left it chargine (switched off) overnight, and in the morning the green light was still on but now flashing yellow (ie, it had switched itself on and was recording) and I found half my vids wiped out and replaced with 8 hours of pitch black video of the room![Frown :( :(](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png)
Anyway, green light just seems to be on now. No water marks or otherwise inside so I'm not sure if that may be a red herring.
Any ideas on what to do next? Is it toast?
