I purchased a Mini 801 w/gps & internal storage from E-Prance in early 2014. It ran fine for about 2.5 months, after which it started have problems. I noticed that occasionally it would turn itself off, or it would fail to turn on when the car starts. It is connected to the cigarette lighter adapter shipped with the unit. I also noticed that the unit would sometimes not mount to my computer when connected.
The frequency of these issues have seemed to be getting slowly worse.
As of today, I cannot get the unit to power on at all. The red charging light comes on, but then goes off after a few minutes. Same wether it is plugged into the GPS base or direct to the power cord.
I have contacted E-Prance (Nancy & Charles) and they want me to update the firmware, but I haven't been able to do it due to the above issues.
FYI it is running firmware: 20130903
Any ideas on how I can get this functioning to get the firmware on it?
