GTMedia V8 Finder turns off

Post by Talkhadov »

Hi
GTMedia V8 turns off spontaneously. The battery is fully charged.
Worked fine before.
What is the reason, tell me?

Does it turn off when use with the charger connected?
What model finder do you have?

Check the power switch is not loose or being pressed by the cover.

Hi

So the finder-meter V73 unit.

I have found these finder us power from the battery even when turned off, so they need recharging every two months or so.
If left longer the battery will be drained TOO low and damaged, in my opinion.

I would open it and check all connections for anything loose or badly soldered.

If all else it may be a bad battery.
