Hi,
I've had my Mobius for about 2 months now. Everything went fine until today.
I've been using a capacitor instead of the battery since the beginning.
Today, when I got back home, I did not find any new recordings. I went to the car and started it, nothing happened. The camera's LED's did not blink.
I took it inside and tested it a little (with the battery instead of the capacitor):
# 1. The PC/mSetup won't recognize it.
# 2. If I connect it to a power source, the green LED does not turn on automatically.
Only if I hold the power button for a few seconds. Then, if I try to turn the Mobius on, the blue LED(top side) blinks once followed by the red one(rear) 3 times and then the camera shuts down completely.
# 3. If I try to turn on the camera when not connected to a power source, nothing happens. I can press the power button 50 times, nothing. Only if I first hold the power button for a few seconds and then press it again. Same thing, blue LED on the top followed by the red one on the back 3 times.
# 4. If I try to turn the camera on while connected to a power source but without the battery(or capacitor), nothing happens. Only if I press the power button for a few seconds and then press it again after. Same thing, blue on the top and red on the back.
#5. If I try to do a firmware upgrade/downgrade manually, (again, needs one long press of the power button before it actually starts) the blue LED blinks for about 20 seconds, then goes off and the red one on the back blinks 3 times.
##
I tried several chargers and USB cables.
I tried several microSD cards.
I tried several computers.
The yellow LED and the red LED on the top never blink (were working fine until today).
Do you have any idea or should I directly ask for a replacement?
