The Cycliq Fly6 is a rear camera for bicycles. I've owned mine for about a year and a half, and when I tried to use it this spring, it wouldn't turn on. A few rounds with Cycliq support on things to try didn't work.
The problem was just a dead LiIon cell that would no longer take a charge. The camera has a rather large quiescent current so for future reference, when storing for a long time, charge it up all the way. It draws 70 microamps so if you store it near dead it'll damage the cell before spring.
Anyway the repair cost $5, which beats buying a new camera for $140 (to their credit, Cycliq did offer to sell a new unit to me at a substantially reduced cost, but luckily I didn't need it).
( blah blah )
