Hi! I have a SJ4000 since July, I've done lots of videos and photos and it's great. Until this weekend that stopped working. When I try to switch on the camera does not respond. It didn't receive any impact or water damage.
I've tried with two batteries (fully charged), with the usb cable, with and without the sd card and all combinations possible.
Any idea of what's happening? Can I revive it?
Thanks and congrats for the blog!
Hi, that doesn't sound good. I don't know what the problem is... It is not booting at all, no light is flashing. Where do you got your cam from?
When charging I get the red light, when unplugged there are no lights.
I got the cam from Aliexpress, from a store with thounsands of orders and 99% positive feedback. I've already contacted the seller, and I'm waiting his response.
I'll try to contact the manufacturer (SJCAM).
Did you updated the cam already, when it was working?
I'm using the last firmware available (2014-0929). I tried to reflash it, but nothing happens.
Hello,
sorry but I can only speak english. I had the same problem and I updated my SJ4000 wifi, then that problem desapeared but now the audio doesn't work and the button OK neither, now the buton OK is the down button. I don't know what to do I have tried all the softwares that I could and nothing... The only one I can't download is the G20141205V01, the one that your SJ4000 has and the one that my SJ4000 had. Does someone know where to download it?
here we go:
https://metropolitanmonkey.com/sj4000/sj4000-firmware/
try the latest/newest - 20141204 and report after.
this Version works (most) as ist should be...
i´m curious:)
have a nice day,
Josef
Thanks Jowus, that is the last version I tried but it gives me the problem too :(
I would like to try the 20141205 that is the one that my cam had when I bought it. I have been reading on internet and there are several people that has the wifi and the button problem. So I can only think that my cam is a fake because of this: http://www.sjcam.com/en/content/category/8-faq
Thats what i thought when i god my cam aswell. Why is my firmware a "newer" one than the newest on the SJ-webpage.
Could it be that my one i a fake aswell because of that?
So you had the same problem with the date on the pics?
I would like to try to update my to a diffrent firmware to check if it works and if my cam is real. but what do i do when it doesnt works? does anybody know how banggood react in fact of a fake cam?
