I purchased my hero 10 two weeks back, and have been having this issue a number of times. Battery will be over 50% charged and I’ll go to turn it on, and nothing happens. While this method has fixed it each time, I feel like it shouldn’t be something that’s happening to a new $600aud camera. Is everyone with the hero 10 experiencing this? If not I’ll need to send it back to GoPro

Thank you, thank you, thank you, I thought I was going to have to buy another one but thanks to you I don’t ( no words can describe how thankful I am for this video) 😆

Haven't used my GP10 for months. I took out battery and SD card and put the charger it turned on. Then I placed the battery (totally drained).. it turned off.. then I kept it charging. Took about 5 minutes or less to get the red-light charging mode. Thank you so much! Helped greatly!

Bro I was starting to freak out lol but this video saved me, thank you!

[denizatalay]

Very useful information at a very stressful moment :) Thanks.

You sir are a legend. I tried everything. The technique that worked for me was plugging it in and then removing the battery and SD card. Popped them back in and it began to charge 🙏👍

[texasballer]

Thanks for the video but why is this happening to my camera. None of us here should have to play games or hack a fix for a new camera that costs hundreds of dollars.

[ActionAdventureTwins]

thanks! it was the battery issue for me.. i replaced the battery and the go pro 10 was able to turn on and displayed a message that the go pro turned off because it ran out of battery in the previous session. i guess it doesn't charge faster than it drains when the screen is turned on!

Thanks a bunch. I didnt use my gopro for about 2 months, and when i tried using it, one of the battries wouldn't charge and the gopro would not turn red. But i followed the instruction and waited 30 minutes and it worked 👍

[LeuCustomKnives]

Hadn’t used my GoPro in 10 months. No lights when plugged in. Followed your steps and Wala! Thank you!

[JeremySmithOfNewScotland]

Thanks dude, though I was going to have to call gopro support. Mine would turn on but not charge. I took out the sd card and battery and plugged it in. It came on and I put the battery in. Now all of a sudden it no longer says 1 percent, but 30 . I think that worked. I’m going to let it charge and we’ll see.

Thank you for this, but why does the camera do this? I have a GoPro 10 and it will do this at random times. I'm not sure if it's overheating (I don't hear a beep or anything), and it's not the battery. It will just decided that after it records sometimes it will not turn on unless I unplug the battery, put it back in, or if I do the power reset option. Why do you think the gopro is doing this?

[cruisenuts]

question will a broken Microphone drain cover make the camera not water proof? like you got on this video with the other camera it has a missing microphone drain cover

[devinheisler]

I really want this to work. I tried everything you recommended but no luck. When I take out the battery and SD then plug it in nothing happens. No lights or reaction to holding down the buttons. The other functions operated fine while the battery still had charge. Any recommendations? I've heard some mention of a USB3 cable, but I don't see anything official.

[heisenbergB]

This helped a lot, GoPro Hero 11 wasn't taking a charge or turning on. I emptied the camera, plugged it in, got immediate powerup. The battery was the problem, so with it plugged in and powered on, then I put the battery back in and it appears to be charging now and functional. Thank you. These things drain so much battery just by sitting on my desk, it's really disappointing, even with a lot of extras turned off. Then it overheats during use smh

[adnanal-harbi]

I have tried every possible way to get the power on following your steps carefully but with no avail. What worked for me which I want to share with everybody is that I plugged my usb type c cable to my iPhone to download photos and videos. Luckily, it worked. So I was able to download all my videos to my iPhone. I disconnected the cable and tried to power on and off, still didn’t work. I tried it again the same steps as described, and it did not work . So I connected the USB cable again to my iPhone, and try to power it on and off finally somehow it worked. I have seen an error while the USB charging was on it says, your battery was operating in sub zero temperature of 0°. That was not true but however something went wrong may be with the application and now it works fine. I am glad specifically that I am taking a trip around Europe on my motorcycle and I want to record my footage

My go pro just gets really hot off I leave it on the charger. Still won’t turn on 😭

[dabyotube]

any of those didnt work on my go pro 9.

[TheMagicCrafter]

Thank you so much for this! Was all ready to film an underwater video today, and my 10 Black pulls this stunt. Gonna give your instructions a try and see if it helps! But as a backup, I have my trusty old Sony FDR X3000 charging... because THAT is a good camera. Wish Sony would have continued its line. Ugh.

I tried all of these steps and nothing worked to fix it permanently except smacking the gopro on the table with medium force a couple of times and to my surprise that actually solved the problem completely😂
