F750 keeps saying format card

Wes Wilson
So I have been using the original 16 gb card that came with it for a few years. It started to ask me more often to format. I figured the card was old and I needed a new one. Ordered a thinkware brand 32 gb because I didn’t want the hassle of picking one that did t work. I went through that years ago. Well every time I start my truck it kept asking me to format the new card. Dashcam website I bought it from suggested I needed a update. Didn’t make sense to me but I formatted the card on my Mac. I did read the proper format needed. On a Mac I can’t do the kB though. Loaded the firmware and it installed it. Now it says format card a few times, then shuts down and restarts and does it all over again. This is very frustrating. I have no idea what to do.

    I am having the same issue, same model dashcam, so I bought a new 32gb sd-card from thinkware. Each time I start my car and even while driving even though I just formatted it a few minutes earlier I get a audio request "Regularly Format Your Card"  Is there a fix or is my camera malfunctioning ? 

    Yes the date and time is good and I pressed the format button numerous times. 

    Thanks

    Support ended up saying there is an internal battery that can’t be replaced. So I had to buy a new unit.

    Some how I knew this would require buying a new camera.
