As if things couldn't get any worse. I decided to install some fresh brand new Energizer batteries in my Moultrie D50 and what do I find ? The display is failing. Again I am victim of another Moultrie camera common issue. I wonder if anyone knows about this "hard reset" programing I keep reading about on the net. Seems lots of guys have done it, but, no one has interest in explaining how the process goes. Email to Moultrie has been sent. Phone will follow tomorrow.
Dunno if any of these work but its worth a shot....

hard restart.
make sure camera is off. remove the sd card, remove the batteries. Turn the camera to the on position, this will drain all internals that hold memory. It takes about 3-5 minutes. Turn the camera off. install sd card and batteries. then turn unit back on.
also she said it is best to reformat the sd card before reinstalling. you need to reformat the sd card on a computer. basically right click and then left click on format.

According to Moultrie you can try a hard reset.
Take out batteries, and SD card, hold on button for 2 min.
Replace batteries and try, haven't tried it yet, but will
You have to remove the LCD, heat the contacts with a hairdryer, them rub them down with a rounded tool. I used the handle end of a toothbrush. There are YouTube videos for how to fix an LCD display. The one I recall was for a wireless phone.Let me know anything about a hard reset. I have a Moultrie that the LcD display stopped working.
