Hi! I recently started using a Miniscope v4, after having used the V3 for a while with good results.
I really appreciate the increased stability and advanced features of the new version, but I started having a few serious issues last week.
Specifically (after 2 successfull recordings):
1) the Miniscope gets hot to the touch, definitely hotter than the V3 to what I was used
2) the official program constanly reports a frame retrieval error
3) LED does not turn on anymore
Of course, 2 and 3 issues constitute the main problem, because they currently make it impossible for me to image.
I tried looking at UCLA Miniscope website and also on this forum, but I could not find a relevant solution.
I got the Miniscope from LabMaker, and after an exchange of email I came to know mine is a version 4.3, for which they are selling an hardware fix:
Based on its documentation, I assume this should not be the reason for my issues, but I would like to hear you opinion to be sure:
Thanks!
