My camera worked fine last time I used it about 9 days ago but today turned it on the lights flashes etc but when I tried to view the recording it was dead. I plugged it in to try to recharge it but the laptop does not even recognise its plugged in and the charging light is off.
Its never had any hard use so any ideas how to revive it?
In the last hour i have took it apart and see no loose wire the battery hold a charge of above 4v and gets warm when charging but still no lights and will not work. A bit annoying as this is the second one to fail.
Edit sorted
Im from an age when if the telly did,nt work you thumped it. So in frustaration after trying to get it going I threw it on a tiled floor. Impact threw the sd card out which I was going to keep anyway but out of curiousity before I binned it I pushed the reset button and hell it works again.At least it can take more knocks than it will inside a car.
