Hi folks, back in 2021 I bought a refurbished S10 via Amazon.fr which I mainly used as an improved webcam and taking some shots. It was mostly used on a tripod with a clean hdmi capture card adapter. So: I once I turned on the camera, my laptop captured the signal as video input for virtual meetings, obs, etc. A few weeks ago the camera started "glitch", showing some extremely weird behavior upon starting (flashing elements on the screen, freeze, no picture through the viewfinder). I then went through the process of updating all the corresponding firmware which helped a bit. Yet, now when I turn on the camera the screen turn slightly brighter (still black) and does not interact with me at all. The screen keeps on with that subtle dim light, even if I turn off the camera (I can just discard the battery to actually turn it off). I was able to record the booting sequence of the camera and took some screenshots. Unfortunately, I can only upload one image. (If there's a best practice how to share those issues here, happy to follow that suggestion) If anyone encountered this problem, appreciate your experiences. At this point I just wonder if there's a chance to salvage the camera of it it's something like the mainboard/chip that is completely broken. Thanks

Not sure why, but maybe CatsAreGods is correct. I use my XS10 for web conferences over clean hdmi and an adapter. Basically the camera is not recording just one to provide the signal. In the past (till mid of may in Europe) it showed that yellow signal after 30-40 minutes, but even after 1,5h never shut down. Not sure if this is relating to the overall increase in temperature, I sometimes run into that scenario Gonzalo mentioned and the camera shows that message and shuts down. It's really frustrating if that was not be clear to customers just due to its release in fall last year... Not sure if firmware could help on that.
