Works! I just tried this and it worked! Taking the battery out and plugging the charger in... Took a few mins before the GoPro turned on. I let the battery stay out for about 10mins. GoPro came on without the battery, then after another 10 mins I put the battery in and it recognized the batter at 0%. Thanks! - GoPro8 black
How the result now? Still ok?
@@dailydronejourney nah, I ended up having to do a warranty replacement like 2 months later. GoPro took care of things pretty quickly with shipping the replacement out
Brand new Hero 7 Black out of the box didn't charge and watched your video and plugged in hold 10 secs worked for me. So thank you for your knowledge and sharing your video. Looking for the seeing it fully charge now..
Thanks man! Couldn't get mine to do anything at all, would not charge, turn on or even light up. Did the 10 sec reset and now its charging! Ur the man! I liked and subbed.
Im such a fucking idiot xdd. I was panicking about my GoPro for a month, but now when I tried fixing it again, I noticed the plug just wasn't fully in and that's why it wasn't charging haha.
i had to do the same thanks man
This video is a lifesaver. I thought my GoPro 8 was broken! Great video!!
True, he’s legend
Thx man 🫡
Thanks Man ❤
the charging with battery inside and turning it on while charging works for me. Battery finally starts charging from 1%. Thanks a lot!
Just bought brand new h7 from best buy and couldn't get battery charge. This is the dumbest device out of the box. Thanks to you my friend!
omg tysm. i thought my broke and i got it for christmas.
Same
@@andreithefortniter7049 same
Me too!
Same
Same here as well
Definitely works, connect USB, remove battery, hold mode and power button.
Thanks it worked
This really helped me out, my Hero5 wasn't turning on or charging. The first fix option worked for me. Thanks
Mine was the exact same GoPro and problem😂
Thanks man! Thought my GoPro was broken and ended up putting it away for years. This fixed it!
Thanks, my hero 11 black wouldn't charge or turn on, and plugging it in to charge but with the battery removed worked for me. I also held the button down. Not sure what finally got it to turn on, but it worked. Thanks man.
On our case, it didn’t open. We tried all of those things but it didn’t work 😢 mine is go pro hero7. We were just trying to open the cam and we have to turn it off again since the mem card was not there so that time we turned it off and inserted the mem card and tried to turn it on again, the light red wasn’t there anymore. Even we press it for a long 10sec
Holy crap I haven’t got to turn on my GoPro in 3 years holy thank you 🥺omg your getting a sub
My GoPro Hero 8 did exactly this. I had only just set up the Auto Upload while it had low battery and went completely flat. No biggy but it appeared it was so flat that while the battery was in it wouldn’t charge at all, no flash on the LEDs, no activity at all. I thought I had bricked it! The step that worked for me, was plugging the cable in without a battery, it powered up to my relief, I then reinserted the battery while plugged in and on, it then started charging from 1%, somehow I had gone beyond the battery’s critical voltage and it wouldn’t accept a charge! It was charging from my PS4 which may have a lower output. But anyway, thanks mate you fixed it!
Thank you - able to get my Hero 5 back on with your simple fix. Recently got the 10 and looking forward to using that one.
What did u do
@@70gsalleycatsomeone didn’t watch the video
Hero 11 and holding the power button without the battery is what saved me here. As soon as I put the battery back in after doing this, it was recognized and started charging.
Your video was posted a year ago and yet this video helped me fix my GoPro, thank you very much sir! All I did was use a different charging cable.🤓👍
me too
My Hero 7 did this. Your video had already helped me by the time I got to timestamp 1:40. Thanks.
Glad it helped!
HELLO THERE..
MY GOPRO HERO 7 BLACK DIDN'T TURN ON AND NOW WHEN I PLUG IN THE CHARGER IT WILL NOT WORK BUT ONLY THINGS HAPPENS IS IT GET SO MUCH OF HEAT.
IS THERE ANY WAY TO SOLVE IT ?
Same with me
Same with me how its doinh?
holy crap you just brought my gopro back to life thank you so much sir
I had no batt when plugged in and a batt was in there. Plugging in with the batt in and holding the power button for 10 sec fixed this and now my batt charges, thank you so so much!!!
Too many issues with the new cameras so sticking to my Hero4
Mine had 0% charge even the light didn't turn on in the beginning
What did you do?
Same
What the fuck. Same.
Got a solution?
@@eatsleepplayrepeat did u figure it out
@@djthomasson898 Nah, just returned it and got a Hero 9.
Thanks Man, my heart stopped running for an hour. You are definitely a life savior❤️
Glad I could help
How did this video help?
Thanks for the video. I had a bit of a problem the Hero 7 Silver does not have a removable battery. When I hooked it to the computer like you said I finally got the red light.
I have a hero 7 silver and I do not know how to take the sd card out. How did you do it
My GoPro Hero 5 suddenly dead.. it just wont charge with the battery in.. or even without the battery when connected to charging cable it will not boot up even holding the power on mode button (I even tried without the SD card) do you have any fix to the problem?????????
Same here. Im using go pro hero 7 white and its not turning on
Thank you so much bro! I recently found my old GoPro 8 black and i was wanting to turn it on but it wouldn’t work but thank you!
'Plug in, turn on with no battery, then put battery in' got me up and running. Thanks man!
Someone else suggested this and it worked for my GoPro Hero 9! Remove the battery, plug in the charger for about ten minutes, turn on the gopro, it should show no battery, input the battery, it should show battery detected and charging, I waited till I saw one percent before shutting off the gopro and all charging lights showed properly and my gopro finally turned on, woop woop! Hope this helps somebody!!
I have the blinking lights and a ! mark on the front window
Me too,and are you supposed to pull battery out when you pull the sd card?
@@dumpsterjerry3577 what I did was down load quick I think its spelled plugged in the camera and it updated and now it works great so try that
William Keith bro thank you even if it don’t I appreciate the info. I’ll get on that cuz I’m missing out on killer footy right now.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: So I have watched every video on RUclips with no luck.. I follow the steps exactly and nothing! I have a hero 7 that wouldn’t turn on. Like I previously said I’ve done everything I could find online, I have 5 hero 7’s and this is the only one that wouldn’t turn on, I’ve tried other charging cables, I’ve tried switching batteries NOTHING!! BUT ITS FIXED! And here’s what I did, I removed the battery, removed the flash card, reinstalled the battery, (did not put the card back in) and plugged in the charging cable in my Apple 2a wall charger. 20min later I hit the mode button to see if it turns on and the sucker turned on! This hero 7 hasn’t worked in almost a year!! And now it’s as good as new. If you are experiencing the same problem and the 10 second button hold doesn’t work try what I did!!
It was the SD card for me. Thanks man
Go pro 7 owner here, had it stored away for years did the cable plug in and power button and it turned on . Thank you so fricking much thought this thing was a goner
Great video, to the point, many suggestions, more than others.
I had issues with turning on HERO 8 after charging it didn't show any red light and it was even overheating while plugged in. I tried to turn it on with two batteries and all the steps but it didn't help. I left both gopro and the batteries under the AC cold air and after 5 to 10 minutes it turned on. Not sure if coincidence but it worked..
YEESSSS!!!! THIS WORKS!!!! Before this, the gopro wouldnt even charge and i would have to plug it in so it would work and straight after the steps in this video, it started working. Thank you SOOOOOO much.
usb cable without battery.. press the button multiple times and its on! thanks man you're a hero
It works for me.. plug w/o battery and 10secs before on. Thank you so much!
Fantastic! The idiot GoPro Hero 8 wouldn't recognize either battery----one registered 100% then quickly revised down to 0%. Tried everything, but your final advice, about wiping the SD card terminals, got it to work. WOW!! Who would have thought? GoPro should have a manual included to give such advice---unbelievable. MANY THANKS FOR THIS EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!
i lost all hope but the format thing helped thank you soooooooooo much
Thank you so much mate this helped a heap. It wasn't charging or turning on but I tried the battery pulled out and turned it on then put the battery back in and it worked straight away
Also if at the end of this video you can't fix it and the red LED light won't flash than try leaving your go pro connected to power by charging it and after some time you should see LED light!... that worked for me probably because I didn't use my go pro for about 4 months.
I literally bought a new go pro 7 and the batter won’t register at all. I have the worst luck with technology
Yeah what did u do
Same...
魂 mine literally just started working for no fuckin reason after not working for a week
I just bought one yesterday and I am having the same issue.
that's happening to me right now! Anyone have any solutions?
That so cool
My whole family lost hope but u saved it man
I took out the battery, blew it with my mouth and it started working again. What a relief!💨
Thanks .... taking out and wiping the memory card worked for me ... GoPro7 now charging.
Thank you! 10sec did it for me. Brand new Hero8 by the way.
Actually helped with my hero 9 one of the batteries have a problem of when I plug it in the entire GoPro glitches and tries to shut off but the other one worked and I just left it to charge
Helped me out. Had to switch to a genuine gopro battery till I was able to make the firmware update. Good to go now. Camera is working like a charm now even with the aftermarket battery.
Thanks for the video.. its really helpful.. I am having my Go Pro Max 360 wont turn on.. After follow ur step, i manage to turn it on again.. Thanks !!!
YOU SAVED MY GOPRO ❤
tnx si its working on my go pro7, this tutorial is legit,tnx for your vodeo
This was a life saver. Thank you so much
My gopro 7 silver stopped working completely and wouldn't charge either? Thanks to you I'm good to Go❤Appreciate!
Thanks so much bro!!!! i honestly was about to cry😂😂 taking the battery out and holding the power button fixed my issue. Thank you so much!! liked and subbed!🙏🙏
thanks, man. It worked when I removed the battery and connected directly the charger. The battery was 0% charged!
2:26 saved my GoPro :)
Thanks, I tried plugging the camera with no battery and it worked (it turned on). I have a GP7 black, and it's probably going to be my last Gopro. Even though it's been the most reliable of all the Gopros I've had ALL of them have been utter unpredictable. Rarely had problems with a Sony, a Panasonic, a Canon etc. But hoes does Gopro manage to consistently making them so finicky!
Looking for more reliable alternatives.
Fixed my HERO 6! Thanks!
thanks man. was getting frustrated even messing with it. but now it works thanks!
New battery want charging (probably do discharged)
Did the switch on without battery, then pop in battery. Worked !!!
Thanks
You saved my day
Thankyou so much I was in total panic I only got it last week and it wouldn't turn on
thank you for helping me out you earned a sub
Big thanks. You saved my bacon! Works fine now.
scared the life out of me after I saw that it didn't charge, after I pressed and held the power button and tried again it worked. Thanks, man!
I couldn’t agree more, I’m in Mexico vlogging right now with a GoPro 9 and having issues, GoPro need to pull their finger out, my 4 year old Sony FDR X3000 no issues at all. It’s not acceptable that I’m vlogging for my RUclips channel and I can’t rely on my equipment!
My GoPro max was not working.
Because of you my camera turned on thank you so much!
I was about to go buy a new one. The SD card was the problem. Your the best
Trying this tomorrow I’ve Been having problems, thanks ❤ I sub 🇬🇭
helped alot. Thank you
This worked for my hero 9, thanks so much
Thank you 3 years after making this video the method for taking the battery out while it’s on the charger worked on my hero 11! Thank you so much! …why does this even happen?
Helped me out while on holiday thanks man 👍
Thanks, very helpful. been trying to charge it for 2 hours but still no battery. Now the charging seems to work just fine.
How the result now? Still ok?
Brilliant, thank you so much, option 2 fixed mine for me.
Excellent!
Thank you very much, if I hadn't seen you, I would have thought that my go pro was really broken, thank you very much.
This video helped a lot!! Thanks! Although I do have one question, what should I do if the camera suddenly turns off (not while recording)? That happened to me after I recorded a small video and it was at 53% (it was about 3 minutes after it turned on while not being able to be turned on if that makes any sense)
Same here did u fix it
Probably low or bad battery. I got 2 Wasbasi backups batteries and charger for twenty bucks. Worth it for sure.
Your video made troubleshooting my GroPro easy. Good fortune to you
This is the best tip I’ve ever gotten from any YT video. IT WORKED! tysm ❤
thank you so much!!
Hero 7 Black brand new, will charge to around 90% then the red light will turn off and blink once, then go back to red for about 10 seconds and blink again. I left it doing that for an hour and it didn't charge at all. Any idea whats up with that?
Mine too
you saved me, the SD formatting worked
thanks a lot....the third step worked for me
plug in the charger without battery and then insert the battery after turning it on
I just had a minor heart attack coz i was in the middle of the trip when may camera denied to respond
Thanks man 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Never new 10 second thing have same GoPro 8 subscribed thank you
Thanks! turning on without the battery and then putting the battery back in worked!
Thank you I fallowed all the steps my go pro finally turned on
Thanks WorldoTech, thought that my daughter GoPro 8 was a dead in the water! It only needed to hold the power button for 15 seconds!
The sd card formatting worked for me! Not in the first go but a few times Switching on and off after that helped! :)
I had this shelved since 2018. I think my issue is just the battery sat for too long discharged and is useless. Mine will turn on and function mostly with the cord connected directly but it's really strange how some USB C cables will work and some just don't. With the ones that don't work, the camera will power on but will turn off immediately after that. Since the camera seems to function while connected direct, I ordered a new battery and external charger to see if it will help but I'm not sure it will. I assumed GoPro was awesome. Why are these so freaking janky?
Works with the new battery??? Im in the same situation
@@adrianasalgado760 in theory it should since it works with a direct power source so that should boil down to a power source issue which would mean the battery. Although that is using logic and I'm not sure this device understands that haha. I will try to follow up. It's worth a shot from Amazon because if it doesn't work I'm just refunding it. The other option is my camera needs a firmware update which I also found some information on. I suggest looking into that as well
Omg thankyou so much i thought my gopro was broken I got it on Christmas eve
I will try these out later on. Mine is brand new. Did not see the red light while charging. The screen was extremely dim so i could not set up my preferences, now this morning it would not power on. So I'll use these troubleshooting techniques then if all else fails, I'll return the camera. Thanks for the helpful video.
just want to thank you!!! my hero8 is finally charged and turned on.
i was about to give up until i saw this life saver
Thank u so much🤗 I thought my go pro 10 😭died......haha u r life saver for gopro 🥰
Dud you saved me from a haert attack thank god this worked thank you for this video
you don't know but you just save a life.
LIFEsaver... Damn that works - Thanks mate.....
Great tips but unfortunately none worked for me. When I take out the battery and plug it in there's still no red light, or switching on. Is my gopro totally doomed?
