cudde excite problem please help
I posted this in the game camera forum but nobody has responded to my post. Thought someone in here might know whats going on with my camera.
I bought the excite two years ago and havn't had any problems with it, it's been a great camera. I had stored it this past winter and spring and a couple of months ago I took it out put new batterys in it and set it up on my property. It worked fine this first time out (had several pics on it) until I brought it back home with me. I replaced the batterys and set it back out. This time when I went to check it, the camera was off. When I opened the battery compartment I noticed that one of the batterys had leaked some acid. I took the camera home and cleaned the acid (there wasn't much) off of the terminal and replaced with new batterys. This time when I turned the camera on it worked. I went through the setup process setting time,date, etc. When I turned the camera to live mode, after about a 3 second pause the camera went blank. I can turn the camera on and it will stay on until itswitches to live mode then it just shuts off. I tried another set of new batterys and had the same result. Has anyone else ever experienced this? If so,is there anything Ican I do to fix the problem? I thought I'd try here to see if anybody has any idea before I call the manufacturer.
