Screen turning itself off after few seconds

[Michaus]

Hi everyone!

I am new on this forum, please be understanding and sorry for my language

Since 2 years I bought one of G1W camera clones - in Poland named Xblitz Platinum. Since half year my VR started making a troubles.. It turned itself off, and after that turned on - repeatedly in loop (maybe high temp was a problem - I dont know).
In this situation I unplugging cable for a few minutes and after that camera continues recording.
Now, I have worse situation. It looks like on this movie:

After plug in cable camera is turning on, but after few seconds display is turning off. Camera doesnt record. I formatted memory card on PC several times but no results... If I eject memory card, situation is the same, so memcard is not fault - I think.
I tried changing softwares for Tantugo T200 but is didnt help.

If anybody had a similar problem?

Welcome to DCT, Michaus!

In the video, the camera was being powered by its battery or by an external adapter?

@Module 79L , thanks for Your reply.
Camera is connected to charger in car. Without charger, camera is switching on/off a few times in loop because after 2 years of using, capacity of this battery is very very low, so it must be connected to charger.

You just gave the answer to your own question: it's the "almost" dead battery that's causing all those issues.

Ok, but I think that camera is still connected to charger, battery is not needed. Do I am think right ?
Additionally, LED is constantly iluminated, It follows that current reaches the camera and screen should be also working.

A bad battery can make the camera misbehave, even if it's connected to an external power suply.

I will try replace it. Thanks for help!
Good luck!

Hello guys!
I have replaced battery with new one but the problem is still exist. Screen is turning off after few secconds after switching on camera.
Any ideas ?

Use a bigger battery. If that does not fix it then it is time for a new camera.

Battery paremeters are the same like in old battery - 200mAh 3.7V
