So my Fly12 CE seems to have flickered off this mortal coil. As far as I can see, completely unprovoked.
When I turn it on, the light comes on, in the intermittent flash pattern I usually choose, and the LED flashes alternate red/yellow. The manual tells me this is an error reading the SD card. There appears nothing wrong with the card, it reads fine in my laptop. It's a 64Gb formatted ExFAT. I'm going to try reformatting it in the laptop.
But what suggests to me it's gone the way of the Norwegian Blue, is it won't turn off. Hold the button down for 2 seconds and nothing happens. Light flashes, LED blinks. If I click the reset button with a pencil point (or the little screwdriver from my swiss army knife), the light goes off for 2 seconds then it just starts again.
There appear to be only two ways to turn it off. The first is to stand it on its end so it goes into incident protection mode (aka your bike is upside down in the ditch mode) for a while then switches off. The other way is eject the card and switch off with the button. This doesn't always work however.
I've tried connecting it to USB to access settings with the windows app (it stopped being visible to the phone app 2 years ago, possibly with my last change of phone). It doesn't connect, no response to being plugged in apart from the charging light coming on.
The website says the CE is no longer supported (which is really poo for a six year old device that was 200 notes). I guess I've nothing to lose trying Cycliq support anyway but not hopeful.
