GoPro Hero5 Black: Display screen doesn’t work

Sun, 12 Nov 2023 01:54:45 -0700

I have not used my GoPro for a couple days. I charged it earlier today and the display screen worked fine. I then inserted the micro SD card in between the SD card holder and the battery and now the screen does not work. I manually updated the GoPro and it still does not work. Do you know what’s wrong or what I can do? Thanks!

GoPro Hero5 Black: Gopro Hero5 wont turn on after failed update.

Wed, 03 Feb 2021 16:21:01 -0700

I recently tried to update my camera. the update was taking unusually long(more than 2 hours). I go to bed and wake up the next morning my camera was off, and the battery was dead. I plug it in to the wall and get nothing. I leave in there for half and hour and I come back and the camera is hot to the touch. I tried to turn it on and nothing happened. I searched online and tried every thing I could find and still nothing. I talked to go pro support and they cant do anything for me. Has anyone had similar issue or possible solutions?
