@buttcoins. I have the GoPro hero 5 black. The F’ing took a crap on me dude. I get the red flashing light syndrome when I try to power it up. It did it to me about a month ago when I updated it but miraculously fixed itself. Then it just recently did it again and I’m getting the error exclamation point and flashing red lights in error mode.
I’ve gone through all of the forum talk, I’ve tried everything from repowering.. battery in and out.. SD in and out, nothing works and the thing is inoperable.
Everything I’ve read online seems to suggest only the hero 5 black is experiencing the issue. People have had to return their GoPro to the retailer. I’m in Italy without access to a retailer and won’t be back in the UK (where there’s retailers) for another month. Just wondering if you’ve experienced the same issue and have a magic fix.
Thank you in advance.
I actually have the GoPro 5 black too. Mine still works fine. Though i recently invested in the gopro max 360% so haven’t been using the 5 as much.
Unfortunately i dont really know. My suggestion would be to try a to leave it charging for extra long. Then give it a day. Charge it again for a day. Then after all that try to turn it on. But not before.
A few years ago i had an issue with my cell phone. Someone told me to try the 24hr plugged in. 24 hrs. Unplugged. And 24 hrs plugged again. then try turning on.
It actually worked with my cell. And then afterwords i just always made sure i got no where near draining the battery.
I guess if its not working anyway. Worth a Hail Mary.
If you have thought of investing in something new.... i have been having a blast playing with the Max.
I’ll give it a shot. Thanks @buttcoins. What a pain dude! I totally need the frikkin thing right now and it’s down. I’ll try that, though. The last thing I did was either remove the SD card while it was on or remove the battery while it was one. I don’t even remember which now since I’ve done both a ton of times in the past and now it’s down.
As soon as I insert the battery—lights and the exclamation point. I even tried the ol’ light drop on the floor trick—nada! 😉
24 hour charge, coming up! Have a great week man, thanks for getting back to me.
