gopro hero 6: Cant find GoPro Black 7

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 08:02:07 -0700

I wonder if GP Black6 and Black7 share the same replacement parts? Can't find anything for the B7 model. Could you spread some light on this?

GoPro Hero4 Silver: Microphone issue, no sound , just whooshing noise

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 12:11:13 -0700

On a very dry adventure motorcycle ride using the open back door, some water entered the case from a burst water main on the road, no more than a finger flick splash! Will replacing the motherboard fix the problem?

GoPro Hero 10 Black: GoPro 10 Hard to start and when start bricks after 30s-1min

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 12:36:49 -0700

Hello i bought yesterday GoPro 10 black second hand. When i bought it it turned on and i tought everything is ok but BAM it's not. The device sometimes turn on like normal but after 30s-1min the touchscreen is not responding and if i turn it of it wont turn on for like a day. Sometimes looks like it turns on but the main screen is black and on the front screen says Hero 10 and stays like this for about 10 min and then it turns off. Sometimes when i insert the battery the front red light comes on and the front screen become lighter but this is the only thing it does. When i plug it to USB no red light is ON. Tried:Software update with SD card and it said Ubgrade compleate. Manage to do it like on third or fourth try. Tried to turn it on with USB,without battery,without SDcard. Nothing helped so decided to open up the case and to see for something visible but i cant see anyhing that is black or cut. Where shoud i look.

GoPro Hero3: It keeps turning off and on by itself

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:16:06 -0700

Out of nowhere, when I power on my GoPro Hero 3 Black, it turns off and on, repeatedly, by itself, until I remove the battery.

There was no shock to the camera when it stopped working, no water damage, maybe a hotter than usual day, but nothing crazy.

Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKSffmH0...

I've tried:

removing the battery
removing the SD card
different battery
upgrading the firmware (didn't work, power cycles but with the firmware upgrade process)
tearing it apart and looking for loose/broken connections

No luck.

Any ideas?

GoPro Hero 3 Silver: Automatically Shuts Off After A Few Minutes

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:14:48 -0700

My GoPro Hero 3 either doesn't turn on or it automatically shuts off after a few seconds or minutes. At first I thought that the battery had an issue so I bought two more batteries and made sure that they were all fully charged, and when I tried each of them the GoPro still it doesn't stay on. All other functions work without a hitch.

GoPro Hero4 Black: Is my motherboard damaged?

Sat, 01 Mar 2025 10:43:49 -0700

I have 2x Go Pro 4. The first one suddenly died on me and so I bought another one. The second one I believe got water damaged. I don't know how water got in cause my housing looked to be water tight. Regardless, I tried swapping parts seeing if it was broken and nothing worked. I just want to know in the pictures I uploaded where I circled, is that a damaged component?

I was trying to see if I could get various pictures of motherboards, but that aren't detailed enough for me to see. On Google.

In my older GP. This is component I circled is here. But in my newer one it's lol.. like gone completely.

I have no understanding why my old one had that part I originally circled on my first post got damaged.

But yeah I think it's toast my gp

GoPro HERO11 Black Mini: What is the sensor distance to the front outer surface of the camera?

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 03:55:59 -0700

I need to know the distance of the Hero 11 sensor to the front outer surface of the camera.

The following measurements, illustrated in attached image, would be very helpful to me, especially distance (a).

(1) is de front edge of the lens

(2) is the top of the sensor casing

(3) is the base of the sensor casing (where it meets the circuit board).

(a) is distance from (1) to (3) - MOST IMPORTANT

(b) is distance from (2) to (3) - WILL HELP TO ESTIMATE ACTUAL SENSOR POSITION

Many thanks for you help.
