@dorkerific I think I may have the answer for you, and its buried in the forums. Next time suggest you try a Google site search.
Now for what I believe the issue is. I have 3 simplicams, and two of them failed for multiple reasons. Some of the early simplicams had two issues: weak metal springs on the privacy guard that snapped and prevented them from opening to record anything but a side of metal, and the second, which is pertinent here, bad memory chips that prevented firmware updates to be successfully applied and have the camera operate.
I highly recommend you call SS and have it replaced. (Be forewarned, yes, you will have to troubleshoot a bit first but after that they will replace it.) Please post your outcome here if you get a chance.
Good luck and have a great day.
