Blackvue users - please come in AGAIN 2

If you want to upgrade, go for the DR650.

 

If you want to repair it, can pass it to me and I try to replace the battery for you.

 

i will probably ask if anyone wants it for their ride. if the battery is a couple of bucks, i'll happily pay for it. we will have to figure it out in our spare time, @adrianli , especially since im crap at all these electronic stuff. maybe someone without a cam can finally hop on the bandwagon.

hmm should be too big already bro. the BV one was smaller and it was stacked. dont think can fit ><

[Adrianli]

There is a circuit board with the battery. Need to de-solder the circuit board and then solder it to the new battery.

Or if you want to be like my Finevu cameras, put the battery externally.

whoa quite an interesting site. now i guess ill just wait for this cam to kaput and then change to the 650. though i think i should do it sooner than to wait too long.

Do note, on the blackvue, got two types of battery. A lipo and button battery. The button battery more difficult to remove cos it is soldered on.

i would assume the button battery is for the cmos / bios (or whatever they are using to keep track of date/time). i think the li-on battery is the one having issues since it is not holding enough charge to allow the camera to shut down gracefully..

Yup. I agree, but i managed to squeeze the battery in. Only downside is to remove the rubber sleeve to fit it in. Thats the smallest battery size i managed to find.

Can read fellow users change their batteries here : http://www.mycarforum.com/topic/2686720-possible-solution-for-poor-blackvue-image-issue/page-3

hi guys, I am using an old model - Blackvue-DR500 and its all wired up to my magic pro properly. If I buy from Qoo, can I just remove it and stick on the newer model?

 

Can I also use the Blackvue software the same way on my PC? Meaning if I insert my sd card from the new model, will it recognise the file? Thks.

[Mercury1]

lol if people ask if can buy blackvue first is ask if they have electrical engineering background

[Adrianli]

See reply in red. Btw, I am still using an even older model, DR400. It is not even the II, it is the original DR400. Still provides me with great footage.

Dont know. You will have to check the plug size if it is the same configuration and if the required voltage and amp ratings are the same. Some manufacturer purposely reverse the polarity in newer models to prevent you from using an older model. So when u unknowingly plug in, you will see a magic smoke and burnt smell. Then u got to buy another new set. The best person to ask is those car accessory shops, cos they install many many cars already so they will have the answer.

Download the software from Pittasoft and check if they are the same and able to recognise the videos. I think downloading of software from their website and insert your microSD card no need to teach right?
