Hello,
I've got VIOFO A129 Duo camera I bought back in 2019. Recently I started to have issues with it. After powering on, the camera starts normally, but the screen flickers. In the nex few second the screen flickers and becomes dimmer and dimmer until finally it turns off. After that, the camera boots and again the same thing happen. Since buying it has been always being used with VIOFO Hardware Kit HK3. The same happens when plugging the camera to wall output on a different cable, so the problem seems to be with camera itself, and not HK3.
I'm powering the camera directly, not through GPS module.
My guess is that capacitors might need replacement. I just wanted to make sure that this might help and ask you for a place where I can get capacitors. I tried to look for the exact same model (VINATech Hy-Cap 3.0V-7F), but couldn't find it. While I'm pretty good at soldering and won't have problems replacing capacitors, I suck on electronics, so I don't want to buy wrong capacitors.
Any help would be much appreciated Thanks!
