Camera Trouble

Hi, my camera won't turn off ( or on ) I was using it and the video stopped , when I noticed that the blue light was very dim I tried to turn it off but no luck, I plugged in the USB charge cord and again tried to turn it off...no luck....Will it charge up to full even with the light on? or what the heck??????

It's the camera that comes with the kit I used it approximately 25 mins. NO JOY!!!!

So far mine is working still , just had to let it completely drain out then plug it in and it works again.

I had this issue with my camera. Fixed it by removing the battery & connecting +5V directly to it (without using the mini USB adapter) as per this thread:

5V Direct to Cam

Hey ,nothing wrong with that but I prefer a true wireless camera so the battery stays, anyways it may just be a quirk of the camera and if draining it restores operation then that's how I will use it.

Camera came back after let it run out and a recharge.... think I will go with the 5v d-port option everyone is doing:)

I find that if you connect the +5 to the camera, and replace the battery with the power from the EZ-B, that it works. If you keep the battery on the camera, it draws a lot of current. I think it is because the battery is charging and the camera is powered, so your EZ-B battery won't last as long.

Hey, I bought a female version of the wireless cam.;)

Also in the picture is my latest gift from my generous wife...a Ro-Board 110 with 8.9" LCD and VGA card to drive it.
