Camera quit working/No power

Camera stopped sending pics last week. Went to lease and checked this weekend and it was off and will not cut on now. Changed batteries and SDcard and still nothing. Only 2 months old and was working fine before this.

    Does the green light on the front blink when you turn it to either set up or the on position?

    No it doesn’t, my ghost camera only has on and off buttons.

    You can try leaving batteries in it over night, the internal battery may have gotten very very low. I would try a different SD card too, I have seen them keep the cameras from turning on. You want a 32gb or smaller, class 10 , 80mbs or fast and a full sized card, not a micro in an adapter.

    Phil,

    when you first turn the Ghost on, it’s in setup mode.

    Okay, it still won’t do anything. No lights and the screen is blank/black out.

    Did you leave it with the batteries in it overnight?

    Yes, I have tried 2 new sets of batteries and 2 new SD cards and it’s been on since Saturday(2 1/2 days) and still nothing as of this morning.

    I think you'll probably have to send it in to be looked at. What's your email, we'll try and get someone to send you an RMA

    Well I received the RMA number and getting ready to ship tomorrow but wanted to check one last thing. Found the power cable had somehow come unplugged. Working fine now. I don’t know how or why, I have never taken that little piece with the 2 screws off until tonight. Lesson learned!

    I'm not sure which power cable you are talking about, the one in the camera between the top and bottom rows of batteries?

    It runs from where the AA batteries are to inside the camera. Black cable with a white plug.

    That's a first for me, I'm glad you figured that out.
