Neuros Technology Forums

Xvid can come in many forms.  some forms include Qpel and other advancements, some of these do not work with the 442.  I am not sure why your DX5 files do not work...

yeah, i would recommend getting the battery from neuros, I tried getting a higher capacity battery once and even after being careful and even using the circuit from the old battery on the new one managed to somehow fry a faceplate.

yeah, navy, clue me in.  I would like to know how to bypass the battery and run it straigt to the unit?  How would i go about doing that?

yeah, its the mini one on the backpack i was talking about.  if nothing happens i am guessing your battery is shot.  How long have you had the unit?  I would contact support and tell them what we talked about, and see what they think as well.

Yes, that is what i am refering to. If that is not blinking your unit is not getting a charge.  I would suggest taking the backpack apart and checking to make sure the solder connection is intact.  If you are up for this you will need a T6 Torx screwdriver.  Also, it is possible, but not likely that your ac adapter is shot.  Also, if your battery is shot, i dont think the light will flash either.

Does the unit power on if you plug it into the usb port? if it does not i am willing to bet that it is the battery that is dead.  Batteries are cheap and you can get them from neuros.

let me know,

on a few occasions when i left my device in a very warm car i had this problem.  Heat will really kill a battery, especially one like this i guess.  I would try removing the face plate and try charging the unit with the wall adapter with the face plate off.  There should be a little blinking light, that blinks in two or three intervals.  Trying leaving it charging this way for a few hours.  Then unplug the unit and reattach the faceplate and see if that helps.  But when i had the problem similar to your i did this.  I do not think it has anything to do with cold, it never seemed to affect mine.

let me know if this works for you or not

i would get a replacement battery, especially if you have not used it in a while.  Batteries do not last forever.  you should still be able to buy them from neuros and replace it yourself if you are so inclined.

wow, one heck of a camera...built well

wow, that is one big list of things....I hope I can help.

I have the same problem with my 442, every so often the unit will just refuse to start.  There is some small bug with the way it charges that somehow confuses the unit (or at least it seems that way).  The first thing you should try is pressing the reset button and then try turning it back on. (sometimes this works and sometimes it does not).  the second thing you should try is plugging in the charger and seeing what the unit does.  sometimes i have plugged in the unit and it will show a solid light (like it was fully charged) but would not start.  What i did was kept trying to start the unit with the charger on and off and eventually the unit would somehow change and start.  I was going to report this as a bug, but i could not effectively recreate the situation on demand.  It was intermitten, and i had never heard of anyone else speak of it.  but, try the reset button first, that might be a quicker fix, if it does not try plugging in the charger and tyring to turn it on with it on and off, and then it may change to blinking and turn on....this is confusing, i know....

the unit may have had short run time because of what i talked about above (a little bug).  or it might be that the connector was not making good contact because it may not be broken in (which i have had with other devices as well).

a bad audio track with hum could be tons of things: interference from tv or some device, bad cable, bad connection, mono and stereo plugs switched...

I cant see why people keep losing that rubber thing, i have never taken it off and i love having it there so no dirt gets in the plugs, i must be a minority.

you can create an external power supply as long as the power you supply is power that is specified on the power adapter.  if the adapter were to say 10mv at .5amps, then you just need to go to radio shack and buy a proper connector tip (same as the charger), and then find some batteries that you can chain togeather that will give you same output as your wall charger.  I did this with the neuros 2 and it worked very well. Added about 8-10 hours of operation.

i am sorry that you feel so confused with neuros products.  I am not going to vouch for the older products, but the newer stuff is a big improvement.  The 442 is still in beta and has kinks that need to be fixed.

If you need any more help or instruction please feel free to ask,

I would guess that most of the people who got dead units posted on the forums.  This is common, people with working ones do not post about it.  I know there are a lot of people out there that have working units that last a long time.  You wont hear about the ones that work, only the ones that dont, so it may form a biased opinion.

The first thing you should do is check the options and make sure it is not set to 2 hours.  The recorder has presets on it that set the length that it records.  So if it is set to 2 hours, then it will only record for that long.  You should be able to set the unit to record forever until you stop it if you are going to be around to run it.  If this does not solve your problem let me know.

oh goodie....i cant wait.  I love new products

have you guys tried pressing the tv/lock button?  you need to push that to be able to output the video.  from what i recall the sound will still be heard.  You probobly have tried this...but you might have not.

edit: nevermind...missed a post...

thats funny, usually a hacker does not ask how to hack...he figures it out through trial and error...but i guess you probobly dont want to toy around with $300
