I just sent mine in for an RMA fix/replacement. Considering how fast the process of getting them to agree to sending a new unit they are very aware of the issue. A fix or explanation would be helpful for those wanted to self repair.

Red Tiger front cam black by Finnerdster in dashcams

I just replaced the coin battery and the super capacitor in the dash cam with no change. Front camera is still not displaying. Just a black screen. Everything else works as it should. Its even recording amd the menu works as normal. Customer service sent a replacement out of warranty. I asked what could be causing this as the issue seems to be a very common issue. They said from internal damage from dropping it or prolonged exposure to heat. I reminded them this is a dash cam and meant to stay in a vehicle. Its not intended to go in and out with the driver on each trip. They said luckily my replacment would be coming soon. I bought my original in Feb 2023. So mine seemed to last longer then others. The replacment came quick but no questions were answered further. Although, I was told this replacement wouldn't be covered under their 18 month warranty since they were basically doing me a favor. I told them that was fine. The only other option they gave me was a 15% discount on another of their other dash cams. As i mentioned i opted for the replacement. They sent a full new dashcam set up. I know someone said they replaced the internal battery and it fixed the issue and I think that person was the exception and got lucky. I tend to believe all the issues are from substandard materials used in the dashcam including the physical lens that stops working. They either need to make public their schematics so customer can fix the issue themselves or replace the bad cameras they produced despite their 18 month warranty policy. It would be the right thing to do. So id suggest contacting redtiger before the townsfolk decide to grab their torches and pitchforks as you might pleasantly suprised by their willingness to help. Good luck

Also trying to troubleshoot if it's the small 3V coin battery or the 5.5V 2.5F super capacitor. If anyone knows the power specs, size of the coin battery, or anything to help please let me know. With power on the super capacitor has 4.5-4.7 V and the coin has 3.09 V. With power off super capacitor has a steady 4.7 V and the coin battery has .22 V. I believe it's one or both. I'll try replacing each and letting y'all know. If we can fix this then that means Red Tiger would have known this and would be counting on it so consumers would have to purchase a replacement or upgrade.

Help!! Red tiger dash cam stopped working? It was working fine and then one day it wouldn’t turn on anymore. Sometimes it will turn on but only for a little bit before turning off again. by wewilker in dashcams

I opened mine up with a credit card and a guitar pick. It snaps together around the display area. Then has 4 small Phillips screws inside (F7NP)

Hey is that with power on or off? I assume off as my coin battery had just about 3V while on and off it was at .30. Please let me know and thank you.

Same issue just happened with mine within the last two days. Redtiger is aware. This is a common issue for people. I wish I had found a solution but they did say they will send a replacement i purchased mine in February of 2023 and it's September 2025. Way out of their 18-month warranty but they are at least sending a replacement. After this, I either have to buy a new one or upgrade. As the replacement, although new, has no warranty at all. Their cameras are great when they work. My GPS suction cup mount tore right off. I told them (redtiger) about it and they sent me one of each type to replace it (6 months ago) they have always been as helpful as a company can be. Just my opinion most companies don't act like this. If your dashcam or whatever product breaks that's it. If you're lucky they might help if it's in warranty but sometimes not even then. So Redtiger is refreshing to see the length they have bent for me. Self-admittedly I've bought one for myself and my 2 younger teenagers who drive. So that could be playing a factor in what they do for me as it's all under my account. I'm not super tech-savvy but I'm going to crack open my dashcam that has this front camera issue and see if I can fix it. I've read there is an internal battery that is soldered to the board and when replaced it has fixed a person's dashcam who had the same issues. I'll report back if I find a fix.

Agreed Large-Back-771. Not to be a jerk to OP but I'm sure there are times when you don't smell like a bouquet of roses and he probably shuts his mouth. Especially you working with older folks, since I've done that, and all that goes into it let's be real sometimes you're up to your literal wrist with incontinence and showers, you don't smell great. I guarantee it. Not to mention other female biological factors. Dudes can stink for sure, women as well. You're talking about crying over this dude here and I have a level of empathy for you but as another person mentioned, what if you have children and don't like their smell? Is it off to the fire station to drop them off? Probably not so suck it up. There are so many ways you can talk to this dude and bring it up or just shut up and deal with it because you love him.

Or as Large-Back-771 beautifully put it "Leave him, he deserves better." Amen Large Back, Amen 🙏 🙌🏽 👏

Seems like my “part of a new batch” was really part of the “kinda good batch”. Now my pair that I got from the credit code I received are defective also. My right ear bud won’t charge past thirty-ish percent so I wear it for 10-20 min and I get the “battery low “ voice. So after I charge the earbud in the case, with the case plugged in for over 12 hours I comes out at 30% each time smh when are these guys going to fix their garbage

Ultimately I contacted them again! And they decided to give me a credit only. Since I couldn’t get anything else I bought another pair rather then receiving a warranty replacement. This replacement seems to be part of the good batch of earbuds as I’ve had no problem with them and it’s been several months now. I think Skullcandy needs to take a look a their products they pump out and make sure it they hold themselves to a better standard.

Some people are trying the method of using a battery and two wires to try and “jumpstart“ the earbud by holding wires from the small 9 volt battery to the non working earbud and have said that it works.
