<title><![CDATA[GoPro Hero4 Black: Is my motherboard damaged?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>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?</p>

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

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

<p>But yeah I think it's toast my gp</p>

<title><![CDATA[GoPro Hero4 Black: GoPro Hero 4 Black is completely freeze when it is turning on]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi guys I have question to you. I have problem with my go pro hero 4 black. When I’m turning on my camera it shows simple sign hero, nothing more. That is normal procedure when we turning on go pro but in normal case this firstly shows hero next go pro and make a sound. My camera doesn’t make any sounds. I don’t understand this situation because I used this camera few times in 2019 and to today’s I didn’t use this. Go Pro never dropped and never has been flooded. Maybe you have the same situation or you know how to fix it. Pleas help me with this issue. Thanks for read it.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[GoPro Hero4 Black: Is there replacement part for cracked body? - Gopro Hero 4 Black]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi</p>

<p>My Gopro Her 4 seems to have gotten a crack in the body as per image.</p>

<p>Is here perhaps a replacement part I can get?</p>

<p>Whats strange is that I basically never used the Gopro and had it stored in the waterproof housing. When I recently dug it out I noticed this crack in the body (as well as face-plate which seems to be standard on these models)</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<title><![CDATA[GoPro Hero4 Black: How to get quality camera accessories (protection case for diving)]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>

<p>sadly gopro basically ended their support of the older camera models, which might still be good and useful.</p>

<p>I was looking for the standard gopro hero 4 case and the backpac backdoor. The orignial parts support diving to the depth of 40m.</p>

<p>There are still a lot of thirdparty cases available, but often you see them leaking water and damaging the camera.</p>

<p>If you know where to get new original stock or equal parts in the eu (germany), please help me out.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<title><![CDATA[GoPro Hero4 Black: HELP : Flap Broken for MotherBoard cable Flex]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I was reparing my Gopro Hero 4 black when I broke up the tiny white flap which connect flex battery cable with the mother board. I tried to fix it again but it was impossible.</p>

<p>I have a big problem right now, so I need your help¡¡. Even if I get a new one flap from a destroyed Gopro o whatever I think I wouldn`t be almost impossible to attached again because the flap housing is a bit damaged.</p>

<p>So, What can i do? What options do I have?</p>

<p>Some kind of electronic glue to stick the cable flex and the connector permanently? I am desperated because all components are already repaired and the gopro should be working nice now..</p>

<p>I really appreciate some kind of help¡</p>

<p>Please find attached some pictures of the flex and the flap¡¡</p>

<title><![CDATA[GoPro Hero4 Black: Gopro wet - Salt water]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I had a recently accident in Bali with my gopro hero 4 black.</p>

<p>Yesterday i went to dive and the dive case was not fully closed perhaps because the white rubber around the back case was damaged and salty water came through it. Besides, i didn't put the lateral black plastic cap over the ports (Charge&amp;SD) so i think the water went through the camera easier.</p>

<p>I did realize when i was at 30 meters, so i couldn't do anything to stop the water coming in until we finished the dive.</p>

<p>Well, after diving when i arrived to the bungalow. I put the camera in sweet water trying to remove the salt. After that, i went to buy some rice to put it inside around 1 day and half.</p>

<p>Right now, i am able to switch on the camera. The  front lcd works well and also the front button.  The shutter button and the lateral wifi doesn't respond.</p>

<p>The charger port and Micro SD doesn't work. I connected an external LCD Bacpac and the screen is fully black so I think the camera doesn't work properly neither.</p>

<p>I would like to repair it as far as i can.</p>

<p>Do you think would be possible to fix it?</p>

<p>Which spare parts do you think i need to change?</p>

<p>I really appreciate your help!</p>

<p>Thank you so much</p>
