GoPro Hero 8 Won't Turn On-Easiest Fixes-Full Tutorial

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video, I talk to you about a GoPro Hero 8 that won't turn on. If your action camera won't power on then you are probably in a bit of trouble with regards to you not being able to use it. There are many things that you can put off for a later date, but if your camera won't turn on then you can't use it so you should probably fix it as soon as you can. Luckily for you, I go over a few steps that will hopefully help you get your GoPro Hero 8 camera working again so that you can use it normally again. One of these is likely to work so I suggest that you try them all until you are able to get your camera working again.

    I have 2 fully chrged batteries and the usb charging cable. My 8 will absolutley not turn on no matter what. It was used ONE time, never dropped or mishandled, never in water, it just quit working. Thanks, GoPro.

    @@clarizmaillet2761 No. GoPro c/s said it was definitely an issue with the camera, but since I was a month past warranty, too bad. It's a $300+ (500+ if you included the accessories I bought with it) useless brick.

    Same issue as you people. Gently used. A few months past warranty. It’s not even the first GoPro that has died on me like this. Great pictures/video but as unreliable as any piece of technology I have owned in last decade

    Sometimes these tips work, but I suspect mostly not for many as eventually the devices will fail completely. My (replacement) Hero 8 has now packed up for no reason. Have only had it since January this year and used about a dozen or so times. It seems the circuit board inside has simply ceased to operate. These things are overpriced rubbish. The customer support is non contactable from here in the UK. They are good when they work, but it seems each generation of these things is more poorly and cheaply constructed. Steer clear of these overhyped gimmicks.

    Mine 💩 the bed today. Tried 3 different batteries all used to work fine last week. Tried computer charging, sd in, sd out, battery in, battery out, external gopro accessory battery charger says my batteries are full. Tried every combination of sd card in out w and w/o battery, format sd card in computer. Tried everything again, no go. Awful suspect that force update a couple few months ago, mine anyway and now everyone's hero8 is dying. Guess this is my last gopro, fool me once shame on you gopro. Fool me twice would be shame on me. You're not getting the chance to finger bang me again.
