Matan Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Hi everyone. Stored my hero 6 black for about a month. Tried turning on / charge - no red light or charging and camera won't turn on even when plugged in. Naturally this model is old - but my Isotta case is for hero 6 so will be difficult to replace that one. Anyone encountered that? really hard catching the GoPro support - perhaps need to jump start the battery pack? Matan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Sounds like the battery has failed. Or will GoPros work without a battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davide DB Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I have a GP5 and a GP11. Both start with an external power supply but IIRC the GP5 wants a working battery inside. So as Tim suggested, it could be a dead battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matan Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 I'll try to borrow from someone to verify. Sadly the above regarding GP5 isn't mentioned anywhere by GoPro. Thanks! Matan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davide DB Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Don't you a friend who can borrow you a battery to test? IIRC Gopro batteries are the same until the GP9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matan Posted Tuesday at 06:43 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 06:43 AM Update - tried with a GoPro 8 blue battery. The battery fits in my GoPro 6 - but the camera wont' turn on. 😞 Better start looking for another one. Matan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
