I have a the GoLive M it has been doing just fine after putting the solar panel kit on it. Well now it is not swapping to solar power during the day time. Setting say Solar/AA like they have been but now it’s not swapping over. What do I need to check? I haven’t changed any setting on the camera only swapped batteries.

    What is it saying for power during the day? Sunny day, panel facing south and at about a 30 degree angle? 

    Have you checked the cable, both at the panel and at the camera? Make sure all the wires are intact.

    During the day it’s showing battery power icon. Internal somewhere around 3.6 and external around 9.2. Normally external even on cloudy days is around 20.0 haven’t changed camera position or the panel. All cables look perfect and connections. It’s been in this spot for about 2 months. The external batteries died on it due to running a long life feed from it as I was shooting a buck. It with the dead batteries in it till the next weekend because I didn’t have any with me. Swapped batteries and now it’s not showing solar power.

    I asked about the cable because I had a panel quit working when a wire between the panel and the connector on the panel broke. You probably need to use an ohm meter to test the connection to the camera.

    I’ll make sure to take one with me and ohm the wires to verify that.
