Need some help please.

Used the rider in the car and then left it in the boot for about a hour. Came home and tried to switch it on - and nothing happens.

Pressed the reset key and its seems to be working ok - however I dont understand why it keeps dying on me - any ideas (running the older software as the newer version would not load ok)

thanks

Could be the battery is beginning to fail?
How long does it run for on a full charge without external power? Does it seem less than it used to be?

thanks for the feedback - the unit is exdisplay which may explain the issues. However considering I got it for a bargain price perhaps I should not moan so much

Have you checked to see if it's charging properly?

Thanks for all the information chaps. I am going to play with the unit today to make sure it is all working OK.

The unit seems to charge ok as the battery shows full. I have uploaded the new version 6 and I did mess around a lot the night before with different cards as I kept getting the card error.
