when the sd card goes back in and then when i press the other buttons it just beeps only buttons do nothing mate
also in screen just over date in screen there are at least 12 rectangle icons with x if that makes sense
This was the exact problem I experienced with my Viofo. Pressing the buttons would do nothing (I would hear a beep, though). There were multiple rectangle icons with an "X" at the bottom of the screen.
Taking the card out allowed the buttons to work and I saw that I was on firmware V1.7.
I upgraded the firmware and basically followed the instructions at
https://support.viofo.com/support/solutions/articles/19000019600-viofo-a119-car-dash-camera-firmware.
1. reformatted my memory card.
2. downloaded the "LDBA119.bin" file to my computer.
3. connected the Viofo to my computer via USB cable.
4. copied the LDBA119.bin file from my computer to the Viofo (it was labeled "VOLUME1" because I'm using a Mac/Macbook Pro).
5. disconnected the Viofo from my computer.
6. reconnected the Viofo to my computer.
7. allowed the firmware to update (the "REC" light would flash quickly in a couple of different occasions.
8. disconnected the Viofo from the computer and checked that the firmware is now 4.0
Buttons (and recordings) now work!
