I owned an A139 3 Channel (Front + Interior + Rear) for around 1.5 yrs. It used the HK3 Hardwire Kit. The camera worked flawlessly until about 1 week ago.
1. Suddently, the A139 Camera started saying Wifi Disabled. Then Voice Disabled. Then Format Successful. Camera began to lag and buttons for mic and wifi would not function. It would go into a loop and the camera would beep and not function properly. Then go back to recording sometimes then Wifi Disabled, etc.
2. I tested reflashing bios multiple times (older and newer version). - No Luck
3. I tested deep formatting a few different memory cards (all Sandisk that worked before) - No Luck
Therefore, I bought a Front Channel A139 Pro. I am reusing the same Wires (front to Rear + Interior) Same Front + Interior camera from the A139. I am also reusing the GPS Mount from the A139 and Same Memory Card.
The A139 Pro works PERFECTLY so far over the past 2 days on all the old hardware from the A139!
Now here is where I am lost.
I bench tested the A139 over a few days plugging it in via a phone charger brick and usb ---> usb-c cord. I have a spare interior camera.
1. I tested the A139 by itself, and it "worked" OK.
2,, I tested the interior camera (2 channel) both in the Interior Port and Rear Camera Port. The A139 Functioned OK.
3. I tested using a Sandisk High Endurance and the Camera worked OK (same card I used when A139 plugged into HK3)
The only variables I have not been able to bench test on the old A139 are 3 Channel (only have 1 spare interior camera) and to see if the old GPS module is an issue. Yet, the A139 Pro works fine on the old GPS module. I didn't want to scrape it off my window so I plugged in the A139 Pro GPS Module to the A139.
Other than GPS Module or the A139 Camera not working in 3 Channel / having a fault in 3 channel, I am at a loss. I have troubleshooted everything I can think of honestly.
So honestly, I am STUMPED. For lack of not wanting to scrape off OLD GPS module and for Not wanting to keep unplugging and plugging in small cables for fear of damage, I didn't test A139 in 2 Channel or 1 Channel inside the car. Only 2 channel and 1 Channel in Bench test.
Any Ideas?
