If you do have an issue, like he explains in the video. Plug the gopro in WITHOUT the battery and turn the camera on, then what I did was when the camera was on and running I then put the battery in the camera and my battery started to charge. I turned the camera off while everything was charging and boom my red light came on and I was able to charge both my batteries! Good luck to you all!!!

[@sd647]

Legend!

[@ClintPoulter]

This is what worked for me. 🤙

[@bababababa30]

You’re the man

[@nancykwain]

This is what worked for me as well. Thank you!

[@padyakpride]

What if the front camera light turns on steadily when i put in the battery, but cam wont turn on? Thanks.

[@tom_hoots]

When do you do the step when you throw it out onto your driveway as hard as you can, and then run over it with your car twenty thousand times?

[@MusicalBasics]

#2 worked! (powering on the gopro without the battery) thanks man!

[@frederickhartray9701]

Brand new GoPro, I charged the battery once but now it won't do it anymore.

[@DaveBeyTV]

thanks a lot this really helped. ive owned every gopro since the hero 5 including both 360 cameras and never had this problem.

[@barrykery1175]

This does not impress me for a new camera. I have a Hero 3 Silver and a Hero 7 Black. I never had this issue with either camera. It does not look like I'll be getting a Hero 9. Seems like a problem child to me. I did have an issue with the optional remote freezing. It was on and could not be turned off and none of the functions worked. Once the battery went completely dead and I recharged it....it worked. I did not like that so it was returned. It was only two days old. Barry

[@Geovideo333]

Wow, judging from all of the comments this is apparently a common problem. I've never had this happen before, TILL NOW. The part where you take the battery out and plug it in is what worked for me. I"m back at it. Thanks a ton for the help. Really impressed how many people these tricks work for. Great work.

[@Ommer95]

Great video. Thanks mate it worked like a charm and the GoPro is now charging. I tried it with a different cable into a different USB socket and when I tried the battery remove/reinsert trick it started charging.

[@HollywoodCreeper]

Thank you! You know what is really awesome too? You are not irritating at all. You are really helpful. Thanks.

[@qbncrzn]

Thank you so much that was great. I had a completely black screen with no red light no charging. What worked best for me was removing the SD card and battery then power cycling it on with it plugged in. After it recognized USB I inserted the battery and SD card and everything is back in order, thank you so much.

[@chriscraft4523]

What he said worked first try. Remove battery plug it in turn it on then put battery back in and it will start charging. this condition happens when battery drains completely

[@bagpackerprosenjit5736]

It really works...Thanks for sharing the steps ❤️

[@babumbumble]

Solved my issue! Thank you!!!! Didn’t think I would be taking the little guy out. Thought it was dead. The method where I plugged it without the battery to turn it on, and then I insert the battery while it’s turned on finally got it to charge. Looks like it’s a battery issue and not the camera.

[@NiceCanadians.]

There should be a big obvious to see GoPro troubleshooting page that comes with every go pro to tell you how to reset. It worked for me perfectly

[@patrickthompson9719]

Thanks. I was about to send back mine for fixing or refund, but thanks to you and following you fiddling around with it, now all is working fine again.

[@danjones3009]

Two Thumbs Up!! Thanks Professor! University of KZbin. Got to love it.

[@karlcarosella]

Yep surprising issue.. was going to return to retailer but got to seventy percent through this clip and red light finally came to life. Thanks!

[@danjones3009]

As well!

[@tieagramcneil791]

Thank you! The last step worked for me. I had it plugged in to a surge protector and then an extension cord and I couldn’t see the red light. So I plugged it directly into the wall and it worked. Thank you!!

[@thedeathwatchcouncil1616]

Thanks a ton mate! The battery trick worked for mine. I was worried because I let it in my car overnight in the cold so I thought it needed warned up but this fixed work!

[@pietuldanes1698]

OMG I watched so many videos but this is the only one that works for me. Thank you so much. Done subscribing :)

[@huaninghen]

THANK YOU!! my gopro was dead in my dad’s drawer for 3 years, I tried charging it but there was no light, then I tried this trick and it came back to life. Very helpful

[@Conqueringdreams]

I have GoPro Hero 11 Black, from time 2:55 to 3:30 worked for me! Thank you so much!

[@nellartusa]

I purchased a Hero 8 GoPro 6months ago(as of today)... then purchased the mod and a case for it...it was a lot of money fokes! my camera only lasted 3 months few videos made with it...and i wont turn on.... not even the red light will come on....lifeless! I rushed to Best Buy and told them about it but I didn't buy their insurance so I lost my money basically... so they recommended me to buy another one hahah,,,, they told me to buy the HERO 9 instead to avoid this problem from happening so I did.... again a lot of money for this equipment folks!!!...and not to mention, I would not be able to use the case or the mod I had previously purchased :(.... well guess what, is not even 1 month that I purchased the new HERO 9 and its lifeless just like the HERO 8 ...OMG!!, so I saw this video and decided to give it a try.... it brought my HERO9!! Jeez!! I tried this with my HERO 8 to see if it would help ....and now it only beeps....but the screen still black and the light wont come on. it only beeps!!.....now come to think for a moment... within a 6 month timeframe, I purchased HERO 8, Camera MOD, the case, and also 2 extra batteries with a charger, also purchased HERO 9 .... how much money have I spent in these products and I am having issues with it.... is it worth it?? ......I also purchased a Nikon camera 5 years ago that costs me much less than all of this and it still kicking.... Anyways, I just think a new equipment should NOT be giving all this problem ..... I personally believe this new HEROS are VERY DEFECTIVE!! DON'T BUY THEM!!!!!! Waste of money!!!!!

[@everyangleinspectors4174]

Thanks. It worked. I thought I was paying $400 for a nice cam, turns out it has the engineering of an 80s Nintendo. If that vid didn't work for you, I would add blowing in the slot and banging on it before gently pressing the power button.

[@motowookie7533]

an 80s Nintendo would have it all over the go pro hero 9

[@rocsteadii]

Good looks. It worked for my GoPro MaX it wasn’t charging. Got it charging on the 3rd step. 👍🏾✊🏾✌🏾

[@minervamotorsports]

Taking battery out and plugging into charger worked ! Thanks

[@kristinrivas3494]

THANK YOU WISE GOPRO MAN YOU HELPED MY GRANNY!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mateja176]

In my case, the battery was apparently so drained that the camera gave no sign of life for the first 10 seconds or so of charging. Only after that period of time did the signal lights turn red.

[@timbowden7646]

Something your said worked did not recognize the battery and would not charge now it's charging thanks a lot GoPro 8 I bought from someone used now it's working

[@julesfpv]

plugged it in without battery and it worked! thanks

[@johnsonjohnasson8115]

oh man. Tried all the steps. Then went back to the first cable and it worked. So one of the button pressing actions did it. Thanks!

[@luispaulino8418]

Thank you for this video. no BS, Just solutions. and it WORKED........ THANK YOU.

[@xNellieNelsx]

From time 2:55 to 3:30 worked for me! Thank you so much!

[@Christiones]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH couldn’t get it to charge a horribly drained battery. What worked for me was: battery in. Cord plugged in. Remove battery while plugged in. Put battery back in while still plugged in. Charging.

[@ironeagletrike]

Thank you for this, took me to about the 4th tip to get it charging again and it was completely dead and was fully charged a few weeks ago, but I think storing with the media mod on may have somehow caused it to drain, I don't know for sure.

[@Mayankkumargeek]

Running the camera without batter and card and directly with charging cable worked for me

[@BumbleBee-jy2vx]

OMG I can't believe it really works. Thank u so much 👍👍👍👍

[@S3od_zh]

Thanks a lot it’s now working Thank you so much bro

[@elijahmitchell7640]

I just did everything up to the plugging it in w/o the battery and turning it on while plugged in. It was just doing a bunch of resets 😂. You are clutch bro, much appreciated 🙌🏼

[@oakenshield1965]

Thank you for clearing this out! It turns out the problem is my battery... but how can my battery be broke if it worked perfectly the last time I used my GoPro?? very weird since I always handle it with care.

[@takeaguess08]

First trick did it, thanks mate!

[@59parksimple6]

Yes without the battery in the Go Pro hero 9 eventually turned on thank you for a useful video. Just make sure you are charging something where it can be fully charged.

[@howardEX]

Thanks man! I think my battery went completely empty and was unable to be charged up. I unplugged the battery and turned on the camera while on cable and the camera turned on. Then I reinserted the battery and the battery worked again!

[@brianmcdaniel5228]

Pressing and holding without the battery in for 30 seconds worked thanks so much.

[@Haydenwilson44282]

This worked thanks man life saver

[@explorer_nazif]

Thanks bro, I did it using you video. Good video

[@KINGRA29]

thank you soo much brooooooooooooooo

[@OneSlowCbr]

Lifesaver man! Thank you!

[@raizelperelson864]

Thank you so much my GoPro is working again

[@mediacopycatkillers]

Thanks for putting this online, I just bought one and was like "oh great, they sent me a duff".

[@halliwaxbasementbuilds]

POSSIBLE SOLUTION: So I have watched every video on KZbin 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!!

[@kennyforrest4714]

Thank you this has fixed mine. Brand new Used it twice then wouldn't charge, as soon as it was plugged in would say 54% battery and wouldn go any higher even if plugged in over night . These tips worked for mine. Thank you. 👍🏻

[@alexbandy194]

Thank you so much this helped me out a lot

[@annecelinelalanne4219]

It workeddddd… you’r genius

[@lany_07gaming]

Nice info for the GoPro hero 9 users.👍

[@thehonestabe]

Thanks a lot, man! I actually was about to buy a new battery until I found your video! mine is working now!

[@mamba_madnezz4974]

the 10 second hold button down worked perfect for me, I was freaking out. thanks for the tips

[@ovidiumoro]

Worked for me also one time, then again and now is not working at all! I'm super disappointed!

[@brittneygarbutt4341]

Bless your soul man, mine wouldn't charge with my go pro cable and wouldn't come on at all and its finally charging

[@NativeMusafir]

Great ideas... actually my go pro has a different kind of problem but this idea is worked in that problem allso..thank you so much

[@robin5173]

You are my hero. The first option works for the hero 6 black ass well!!!!!!

[@jonashdjg1345]

Little additen for me. Haven't used my gopro for quite a while, and it instantly turned on plugged in without a batery, but with battery in no chance. So tuned it on without battery put in the battery now its charging and hopfully will fix my issue.

[@remainhumbleplustax]

Thank you for this. It has made things alot easier 😂🤘🏿🙌🏿

[@RCRoads]

I have 2 Hero 8 cameras. One is real old and has never had any issues. The brand new hero 8 is really messed up. I contacted gopro support and they said that after market batteries were the issue. I have tried everything in your video and no luck. As a matter of fact I have tried several times and just get no results. It's strange because if I let the camera sit for several days it will sometimes turn on. It's an awesome little camera when it works. Honestly I would probably not buy another hero 8 mainly for this problem. I also have a Hero 9 and off brand batteries have never been an issue. The only thing I don't like about the 9 is that it is so much larger than the 8 and basically just cost more and the extra features are not anything I need.

[@Teiil]

Last step worked for me. Plugged into the wall with no sd or battery. Thank you! ✨

[@aaronbadbear5921]

Nothing worked until I got to the part where you plug the cord in, and while leaving the cord plugged in I pulled the battery and immediately reinstalled the battery. The charging light finally came on. Thank you for the help with troubleshooting this problem. I will probably need to buy the external charger soon.

[@bwest0179]

Why do you have dislikes? It worked after like 5 minutes of playing around for awhile

[@3dPrintedSoup]

Great video, had the gopro plugged into my laptop and it just stopped working, the third solution fixed it. Thanks allot.

[@katmona]

Thank you! It worked only when i removed the battery and the sd card. I charge it now with my own charger . But i dont understand why it keeps doing that.. sometimes i have to remove the battery and to put it back in to turn it on

[@mybuddyfrank]

You definitely got a thumbs up from me! Follow the steps and one of the steps will work (unless the battery or charger is damaged).

[@mohammedyassineergouyeg5802]

Thank you

[@kri5tian406]

Taking the battery out and placing it back in fixed my non-red light issue. Thank you sir!

[@mattafrack5613]

Thank you this fixed it

[@williamtsang6307]

Thank you very much 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@JAYA-KHIMDUNG-RAI]

Thanks Boro helpful GoPro 10.👍👍from 🎌🇯🇵

[@omgitspylot4411]

Phew, thought my camera died died but one of the last steps worked for me, thanks man

[@greenf895]

My GoPro 9 can't see the battery. I purchased new batteries and charged them. It works if it is plugged into an outlet or the Suptig battery supply unit. The GoPro is less than two months old and I have only use it twice.

[@crimbullet]

It worked!!! Thank you!!

[@nyoutdoors1101]

Thanks man

[@kocrazy1]

Thank you very much. It's working

[@Kukibajker]

Thank's It helps me a lot. I think the tip nr. 6 helps me.

[@karlmahlmann]

Many thanks. It worked.

[@MultiNadeesha]

The 3rd method worked great for my new gopro hero 9..thumbs up..thank you💪💪

[@MetalGearIV]

3:07 worked for me , thanks man

[@ArcticExploring]

Thank you for this. My Gopro 10 was completly dead after I had been charging it, so it worked now.

[@MotoMutants]

Thnks man

[@20EUR20]

💚 I don't have one yet but very good info

[@willywolf1582]

Thank you 👍

[@IB_info]

If have this issue and all this is not working for you, Tru to change the cable. I tried a 3 usb cables and all of them didn't work it was the 4th one that worked.

[@kaleemniazivlogs]

I solved my gopro 09 issue with your video. Thank You Sir

[@rodneyhendrix93]

After taking battery out and holding the power button down for 30sec I put battery back in held down power button for 10sec took battery out and put it back in and plugged the power cord in and red charging light came on so I'm letting it charge completely thanks

[@ClintPoulter]

Thanks matey!

[@Subzeroeffects]

I am so disappointed to see that so many Go Pro Hero 9s have this issue. I bought mine the other day and the red light turned on but it would never turn off to indicate a full charge.

[@dennisdivina5423]

I just got the issue today. It turn on automatically and turns off automatically. It won't power on properly. I did plug it on the wall and tried 2 new batteries with still no luck. The front on the screen is fuzzy as well

[@MysticShot]

Thank you ! My battery wouldn’t charge. No light nothing. Tried another battery that was fully charged and go pro fired right up. Even turned on with no battery and just charger. But the little pull out put back in while on the charger seemed to kick start the dead battery.

[@danzbeard]

none of these options worked but i sincerely appreciate the video

[@MikeM0XMX]

brilliant thanks

[@bruzmoto]

Thanks Bro, it worked!!!

[@bmoploxyk8165]

When ive connected it to charging didnt worked, leaving it like that taking the battery out and putting it back started charging, seems like it drowned somehow. Thanks you alot.

[@Sky1]

This worked for my Hero 10 Black

[@thenoobdayt]

its helpfull❤❤❤thank you so much ❤❤

[@caalinAbyan]

Didn’t work for me gopro 11 . Red lights is on bt not turning on the camera . Before 2 or 3 days it started turning off her self for every 1 minute during my vlog. I changed the duration 1 to Never ! Needs to update or something else?

[@zolir.235]

My GoPro still won't turn on or charge. I just bought another online and I will see if it works when it comes in.
