run diagnostic test and cover sensors with thumb...may have to shade IR flash array to see it glow red...menu may start countdown...if flash doesn't glow you will get a 020000 error(flash/flash charging error).To fix you need to remove batteries,sd card,rubber plug from remote slot, 5 screws from face;lift out face and turn over. Remove 4 screws, keeping separate from other screws, from camera card and carefully unplug (3 plugin connectors) and carefully lift camera card out..no soldering required up to now..2 conductors,a red and a black, connect to the flash array at one corner...these go to the sensors on the face,slightly under main board...either the sensors are bad or the array is bad...getting replacements is the problem unless you can get them...I buy "as is" cams off eBay.
Error code 020000= flash/flash charging test failed...the IR array or the day/night sensor is bad...I get my parts from other defect cameras...Moultrie charges $25+ S&H to tell you to buy new camera.
...Actually it probably says error code 020000...flash test. Other error codes: 6 digits in codes: left to right digits; 1- Battery Test 0= Pass; 1= Fail ( batteries have to be good and in place even if using power supply (100000) 2=Flash Test/ Flash Charging 0=Pass; 1= Fail (020000) 3= IR Sensor Test 0= Pass; 3= Fail (003000) 4= Camera Mod Test 0= Pass; 4= Fail (000400) 5= Memory Test 0= Memory o.k. or no sd card; (000000) 5= Memory Full (000050) 6= SD card locked (000060) 7= SD card damaged (000070) 8= Comms Error (000080) 6= Clock Test 0= Pass; 9= Fail (000009) ALL SYSTEMS OK= 000000, GOOD
WHEN PERFORMING THESE TESTS, FOR THE FLASH TO TEST OK YOU HAVE TO COVER LIGHT SENSORS small glass items each side of lens.If you still have error, install good batteries, power on, drop batteries out, turn unit off, reinstall batteries and turn on again....if all this, you still have error, you probably have bad flash unit.
this can't be an error code; error codes are in the format of 000000...100000=bat.test(0=pass;1=failed);020000=flash test/charging(0=pass;2=fail);003000=IR Sensor Test(0=pass;3=fail);000400=Camera Mod Test(0=pass;4-fail);000050=Memory Test.In this digit there are several codes...(0=memory ok/no sd card;5=memory full;6=SDcard locked;7=SDcard damaged;8= comms error)last digit,000006=Clock Test(0=pass;9=fail). Are you sure this # is not preceeded by an "E", WOULD BE # OF EVENTS SINCE THEY WERE LAST CLEARED. Ron L.
I just spoke to the moultrie techy about the same error message I have with my i40, This is a false positive message, the i40 uses infra red instead of a flash; the self test is testing for flash and giving the false error. This was an oversight by Moultrie, no down-loadable patches are available to correct this at this time
error 020000 relates to flash/flash charging...if new, take it back.I have repaired several by replacing the IR LED flash...easier fix than the incandescent units.
