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
@@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
Your way of doing it worked really well!!! I left it plugged in with no battery for like 30 min and then held down power and the top button forever and beep beep beep!
@@Meatnyancat22GamingNice! Great to hear! I ended up having to do a warranty replacement in the long run but this method definitely helped for a while.
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.
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.
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 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!!!
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!
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.
BRO IT WORKED THAT YOU! Just plugged it in then hold the button for 10 seconds then after another couple seconds it opened. Was just getting ready to go mountain biking, good thing I can bring my camera with me❤😂
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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!!!!
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)
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.
My 8 is so very confusing.. my son got it for me 2 years ago and I have tried several times to use it and I always have the same problem,. I'm trying very hard not to despise GoPro but so far I do..haha. When I go out to record it will record on and off two or three short scenes then it just turns black and won't turn on forever no matter what I do... 10 for 15 minutes later it will finally let me turn it back on, do a couple of scenes on and off and then it goes black again... It is impossible to record an entire video This Way... I have been using my little Motorola phone.. the quality ain't great but it's so much more simple and so much more reliable than the GoPro.. anyway, thank you for the video, I just had to vent because I've been dealing with this today.. it makes me hate GoPro and it makes me feel guilty that my son spent this much money on something I can't use for 2 years now
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 !!!
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.
Turned out I wrongy put battery inside my go pro 9, thats why it was saying "no battery" and was not charging :D This video guided me into figuring this out, I almost sent it to USA for reclamation from Poland! 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!!
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?
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!🙏🙏
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
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 TH-cam channel and I can’t rely on my equipment!
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?
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..
I tried taking out my go pro hero 8 battery out, turned it on and saw the screen with the sign of the red battery on the right hand corner. Then I turned the go pro off and charged it then I saw the red light indicating that it was charging. All that to say one of your solutions worked for me thank you! I was a bit worried about it because I bought it about a month ago.
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?????????
I am a GoPro user and not an electronic camera expert. I stumbled up on this video while serching for GoPro repairs. I have GoPro 6 black and its on off switch pad is torn and lost. The camera is working. I can put the cam on and off by pressing the metal switch seen through the torn opened swithch window. can this switch pad be replaced ? Kindly advice.
Omg I have a hero 9 but the battery out one helped so much thank you, without u my mum would’ve killed me if I broke the GoPro I spent $750 on with my own money thank u
Mine wouldn't turn on at all yesterday with fully charged batteries. So I left it plug in to my computer overnight with a battery in it, and when I got up this morning, it powered on but said my battery had 4% battery.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: So I have watched every video on TH-cam 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!!

Glad it helped!
the charging with battery inside and turning it on while charging works for me. Battery finally starts charging from 1%. Thanks a lot!

True, he’s legend

Bro I tried all the steps but it ain't started, mine is a 6 month old GoPro Hero 8, I am damn scared now, as it's not starting from 3 days.
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.🤓👍
