I received my new mini 0806 on Jan 16 and it appeared to be receiving power from the base to the camera. I only used it two or three times since then. Today I turned on the 0806 and received a red blinking "Battery Low" warning and within 5 to 10 seconds the camera shut off. I checked the attachment of the base to the camera, the 4 metal pins and the 4 metal inclined metal contact "ramps" and all appeared to be in order. I checked the operation of the usb power plug using my mobile phone and it works fine. So it appears that regardless of whether I connect to the front or the back usb jack on the base, I no longer can power the dash cam. The same scenario happened each time I tried to connect the camera and/or turn it on: Red blinking low battery light followed by shutoff after 5-10 secs. I am using a 32 GB memory card (Micro Center) which had been working fine.
Can someone suggest a remedy or should I just consider this a defective unit. I had read somewhere else on the web that there were issues with the connector design but I did not come across such conversation on the current forum. Thank you very much for your assistance and recommendations.
