I was noticing that my A119 V2 in my back window was not turning off the screen after a few minutes. In fact it never turned off the screen even after driving for over an hour (was set for 1 minute).
Bench tested it - had weird blocks at the bottom of the screen. Could not get to the menus unless I removed the SD card then powered it up. I reset the unit to defaults, set all the parameters, turned it off, inserted the microsd card, no more funny blocks at the bottom but the clock is stuck after counting up 1 second, buttons beep but they do nothing. If I power down, remove the microsd card and power it up, unit responds like it should.
I've tried:
- 3 different microsd cards - no change. 2 - 64GB cards, 1 - 32GB card, all formatted FAT32 on a PC (I'm not able to format in the camera)
- updating the FW (was V1.7), unit will do the same thing - it won't load the new FW at all. Each time I power it up, it just boots, and locks up. Doesn't even try and load the FW.
- I checked the supercaps, they seem to maintain voltage when disconnected for a short while
Any ideas what's wrong? I have a new, in-the-box A119 V3 I can swap it in, but I just read my V2 GPS stuck on the window isn't compatible with V3 and I don't look forward to aligning/sticking a new V3 on the back window if I don't have to.
Thanks all.
