Hi all,
I've had my (real) 0801 for about 10 months now and I'm now starting to run into problems. I noticed the unit wasn't turning on in the morning when I started my car. The LED indicator is a solid red light (charging). Problem is my commute is about an hour long and its stuck in the solid red light the entire time. Every button is non-responsive. If I take it off the power source, the LED turns off, but I still can't power the sucker on.
So after a lot of tinkering, I found some patterns. First, if I take the cam off power for a few hours, I'm sometimes able to turn it on; it'll indicate low power. Second, if I leave the cam charging all night, it'll turn on no problem in the morning. But I'll get the red light problem in the afternoon/evening commute.
So I'm leaning towards replacing my battery. My concern is if it's solely a battery problem, why won't the thing turn on even when connected to a power source? Is there a trick I'm missing? Should I update the firmware?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
