GoPro Hero4 Session: How to repair a blank display screen?

Sun, 12 Jan 2020 05:40:25 -0700

The LCD display screen on my GoPro Hero 4 Session camera is blank and doesn’t light up or show any information/settings. This wasn’t a result of being dropped or some other trauma to the camera, it sat in my drawer for about a year and recently when I charged it and turned it on the display isn’t showing anything. The camera still functions and seems to be working Properly.

How can I repair this issue or replace the faulty parts to get my display working again

GoPro Hero4 Session: Does anyone know where I can buy parts for the Gopro session?

Tue, 19 Feb 2019 20:08:49 -0700

Looking for more replacement parts, more than what Gopro sells. I have a small part that I need replaced, and Gopro completely shut me down and said I need to buy a completely new device. I’m willing to buy a broken Session just so I can get the part.

GoPro Hero4 Session: Looking for the internal lens assembly. I have it completely apart.

Fri, 25 Jan 2019 20:42:22 -0700

I smashed the internal lens of my go pro session 4. I have taken it apart and don't know where to purchase the lens assembly. I figured the lens assembly and sensor will need to be purchased together because the lens is glued into the assembly probably for focusing. I was able to get it screwed out but figure there will be no way to refocus it with a new replacement....

I've modified a Logitech Webcam using this method and case system:

I don't want to modify like this system, though is an option:

I see there is this option for the RXO and other GoPro's:

GoPro Hero4 Session: GoPro powers on all light work but just won't record.

Mon, 28 Aug 2017 09:24:34 -0700

Hi. My GoPro had a cracked outer lens and wouldn't record. I replaced the outer lens but it still won't record. It powers on, and appears to be in perfect working order. I am not GoPro savvy and think it actually may be a setting. Would love to have someone help me with it and get it going again. Thanks so much.
