Title: Eyoyo doesn't power or malfunctions in the cold
Post by: MichaelAngelo on Feb 11, 2022, 10:10 AM: Wondering if anyone else has this issue - I've had the 9" screen Eyoyo for a few years, but it's never worked when it's negative (Celsius) temps. I always have to bring it into the hut to warm it enough to power on. Otherwise the screen just flickers.

Recently in the cold (anything around 0 Celsius), the face buttons have begun to press themselves and not work. Works fine at room temperature but goes wonky anytime it's outside.

Anyone else have this issue? Any solutions or do I just have a lemon?

Post by: fishinator on Feb 16, 2022, 07:55 AM: I received a bad battery with mine. Customer service was pretty good. I think the guy uses a translation app as some replies were broken English. They got me a battery very quick.
I did encounter my first problem with mine (2nd if you count the bad battery)
The wires on the power to the monitor came lose inside the connector. The wires are the size of a thread. Easy fix but I'm not sure it won't happen again. Hard to solder wire that small.
