Doughboy,
I would get a hold of the factory.
A friend and i both have alot of different cameras, and we each got gamevu digitals.
His camera , would suck the juice out of batteries alot quicker than mine.
I believe he got a hold of gamevu, and they sent him another camera.
I don't know what was wrong with it, but something ,to replace it.
Bottom line, see if stealth will help you out on this issue.
P.s. I think there was no reason for the sarcastic comments by the others, you were asking for help, not sarcasim, IMO.
GOOD LUCK
