I've looked through a few different threads on this site, and have tried a lot of suggestions that I have found (thank you all for your help) but I'm still no further ahead with this issue. When I first bought my 1st G1W Dec 2014, I could save part files by pressing the M button on top, stopping the recording, then starting the recording again - a simple process that would allow me to save certain 'interesting' situations that I would come across while driving (18 wheeler). They would be marked 'SOS#####' on the card and I would download only those in order to save space, and because I didn't require any other information off the camera.
Since September of 2015, it's stopped working that way. I've since swapped out the Lexar cards for new Sony cards, I've purchased two other cams (all from the same reputable ebay seller), formatted and reformatted, flashed and reflashed the firmware, tried all three cameras and they are still not functioning as the first one used to. I understand that at the price I am paying, I shouldn't expect too much, but the issue is it was working before, and now it isn't. It didn't stop working after a flash - I was told to flash the firmware when it stopped working. Anyone have any ideas?
