First post on here, so hello from Bribie Island in south east Queensland.
I've got a DR500GW-HD and it's playing up. I've been through quite a few posts and found an excellent tutorial on replacing the battery.
My problems are that the date shows as 1/1/70 on the viewer, the files are getting jumbled up and some don't even seem to have recorded (gaps in the playback). A bit confusing is the GPS side of things: On the viewer screen, the speed and an incorrect date, March '73 I think come up in the lower left corner, but even though the blue light is on, I get nothing but a map of somewhere else and no speed, position etc, when I click on 'map'.
It's the same if I click on 'my way viewer.'
I sent off for, and received a 32GB Pittasoft card from BlackVue, put it in and it's still the same. I formatted it in the camera, but it made no difference. I don't know how to format the card in my iMac or Macbook air.
I've emailed BlackVue and am waiting for a reply, but wondered if anyone has some suggestions.
I've looked on ebay for the MS621FE battery, but most seem to be non genuine, not all, but I'd like to see Japan stamped on them. Does anyone know where I could get one in Australia ?
Soldering's no problem for me if I need a battery, but the time to post them here from ebay puts me off a bit.
Sorry to waffle on with the first post, but I want to get this camera fixed without having to splash out on postage to Melbourne and back. I want it back in the car asap too.
Thanks for reading.
