Strange issue

[JackTheKnife]

My G1W started to beehive very strange. First it had a long boot and shut down time and now there is no boot or shut down screens at all - is up right away or goes down when power is off.

Does it means I have dead battery? From a begging that battery was kind of weak for me but seller told it is only for proper power on and shut down only not to keep camera running for 15 minutes at least.

Also what I have noticed it that after power goes off settings are reset to default except date and time

battery failure or mainboard problem

 

[JackTheKnife]

Any suggestion for a battery replacement?

 

[jokiin]

how old is the camera?

 

[JackTheKnife]

Less than 2 years

 

[jokiin]

ok battery failure is very possible, you could try replacing it and see how you go

Any similar batter from eBay will work or I need to search for something particular?

eBay, Aliexpress, a few people here have bought replacements to successfully repair their cameras once the battery dies

My G1W has a weak battery after a year. Got some weird booting issues and it helped by formatting the card.

I use THIS battery as a replacement.

Is this one going to fit or not?

Dont know. You have to open your G1W and see if that size fit there.
I have tried only the one I posted link.
