Hi! I understand your ieGeek Cam monitor won’t turn on even though it’s charged, and your cameras are working fine with your phone. Just to clarify, when you press the menu button on the monitor, does anything at all happen? Any lights, sounds, or screen flickers?
Sometimes, even if the monitor shows it’s charged, it may need a bit more power or a reset to start working properly. Here’s what we can try step-by-step:
1. Charge the Monitor Longer: Keep the monitor plugged in and charging for at least 30 minutes more, even if it shows charged. Sometimes batteries indicate charged but don't have enough power to turn on immediately1.
2. Power Button Press: Try pressing and holding the power button on the monitor for about 5-10 seconds. Some models require a long press to power on.
3. Check for a Reset Button: Look for a small reset button on the back or side of the monitor. If you find one, use a paperclip to press and hold it for 10 seconds to reset the device. This can clear any temporary glitches5.
4. Inspect Charging Cable and Port: Ensure the charging cable and connector port on the monitor are clean and undamaged. Try a different charging cable or adapter if available, just in case the current one charges but not properly.
5. Monitor’s Battery Health: If you have access to another monitor of the same model or a replacement battery, testing with that can help determine if the battery itself is faulty.
Could you try these and let me know if anything changes when you press the menu or power button? Also, if you can tell me your exact ieGeek monitor model, that would help me guide you more precisely.
