gopro hero lcd screen not working quotation
Make sure the GoPro is charged. Charge the GoPro by using provided USB connector and plugging it into a computer. You can also use the GoPro wall or automobile charger.
If the GoPro still does not charge, please use the microSD/Micro USB Port Assembly Replacement guide to replace your assembly. A poor connection inside the Micro USB port may prevent your GoPro from charging.
Older computers do not have the hardware to support HD playback. Ensure your computer can play the video by checking if it meets the GoPro Studio Software minimum requirements here.
You can have choppy video playback if you play the video streamed from the camera over USB. What this means is if you have the camera connected to a computer by the USB cable and you play the video from the files on the camera, without transferring the file to your computer, it can come out choppy. This is due to the USB connection not being fast enough to play the HD video back in real time. Before playing back a HD video, copy or transfer the file from your GoPro to your computer, then playback the video.
The impurities in the water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the camera’s operating design and could damage the components. The corrosion starts immediately and is ongoing until it is completely cleaned away
Then you need to dis-assemble the rest of the camera and clean all the affected parts using Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available at electronics parts stores) to remove all traces of corrosion and water. If possible do not use "rubbing alcohol" as in some cases this is only 70% IPA or less, can contain additives and is not as effective. If you do have to use it check the label to verify the amount of IPA. The higher the percentage of IPA the better
As always with electronics, especially surface mounted pcb be gentle when handling and especially when brushing away the corrosion. You do not want to remove any components from the board. Remove the shields that may be covering some components as the water may have got in under there. The ends of any flex cables and their connectors need to be cleaned as well
If you decide to risk it you could try shining a torch at an angle close to the screen and check if you can see any images at all on the screen when the camera is turned on etc.
If you can see images, then there is a screen backlight problem. This could be either a faulty/loose screen flex cable connection, a faulty LCD screen or worst case a problem on the motherboard.
If you can’t see any images, then this could either be a faulty/loose screen flex cable connection, a faulty LCD screen or worst case a problem on the motherboard.
If the flex cable connections seem secure then as a DIY repair all you can initially do is to replace the LCD screen (supplier example only) and check if it now works OK.
I"m having a major issue wtih my GoPro Hero 7 Black. I turned it on yeasterday and out of the blue the touch screen was not working, completly unresponsive to any tap. The power button and the capture button are working fine.

However, with many retailers selling older GoPro models and all the options available privately via second-hand markets/eBay etc, here are all the various GoPro product lines you may come across: Session – A small, inexpensive GoPro that is little more than a box with a lens.
Despite all the compelling GoPro alternatives available, these 4 product lines offer something affordable for every level of photographer or video-maker.
The Hero 8 Black provides the best bang for the buck. It has the newer design of not needing a mount, excellent image stabilization, and produces all-around high quality video, all without being too pricey.
Not all GoPros are waterproof without a separate housing. Newer GoPro models are on their own, but older models (such as the Hero 2, Hero 3, and Hero 4) need a separate housing.
GoPros can be used for non-professional photography. They’re especially good for travel photography, though a dedicated still camera will give you more control and better image quality.
As far as upgrading goes, if you invested early on and own a Hero 5 or older, you might want to consider upgrading to the Hero 7 Black or the Hero 8 Black. (Really, you won’t believe the difference!)
GoPro HERO10 and now the HERO9 has a critical software flaw that can "brick" the camera. We informed GoPro Inc. about this flaw in December. We got confirmation of receipt from them but it took until March to get any kind of traction.
If you connect more than six different devices to your GoPro HERO10, the camera will continuously resets on its own. Be warned, your friend who wirelessly downloads footage on to their phone using GoPro Quik counts towards this total. For this reason, skydivers are starting to see this bug a lot!
If you have multiple BLE connections and then upgrade your camera to v1.70 firmware, after 8 hours your camera will green screen then reboot. This is being called the GoPro Green Screen of Death. I believe this is the cause, but GoPro is absolutely horrible on letting their customers know what is the root cause of issues.
It"s an easy fix for cameras that are fresh from the factory, but for us who actually use them, the process is extensive. This is also why I"m assuming GoPro Inc. hasn"t taken this issue seriously (up to this point April 2022). My guess is engineers are testing with sterile cameras, the same BLE device, or using the same sequence each time.
Fortunately, the explained process will fix this endless loop. Unfortunately, there are many steps. For many of our cameras, updating or using the "factory_reset.txt" trick does not work.
We first put the camera in a mostly factory reset state. This gets the timing correct so we can run our exploit. Unfortunately, the "factory_reset.txt" does not reset the necessary cache of Bluetooth addresses.
Sorry, I can"t personally help out every one with support. If you contact GoPro Inc. you should be able to RMA your camera. My suggestion is to ask a friend to go through all the steps again. If that fails, contact GoPro for assistance.
I"m available for paid consulting if necessary but it will cost you more than a new camera. In other words, I am not GoPro Support and have no affiliation with them. In fact...

GoPro has introduced the Hero+ LCD camera, sharing many features with the entry-level Hero with the addition of a touchscreen. The Hero+ LCD is waterproof to depths up to 40m/131 ft, and adds both Bluetooth and integrated Wi-F with support for the Android and iOS GoPro App. Videos can be recorded at up to 1080p/60, and 8MP still image capture is offered.
The Hero+ LCD"s features include HiLight Tagging for marking notable moments while recording or playing back footage, as well as in-camera video trimming for rapid editing and sharing without the use of a computer. Content can be shared directly to Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Like the Hero, the Hero+ LCD offers a QuikCapture setting, allowing the user to power the device on and start recording with one button press. The battery allows for about two hours of recording per charge; microSD cards up to 64GB are supported.
The Hero+ LCD will launch in the United States at retailers and online on June 7 for $299.99 USD. The camera will then go on sale internationally on July 12.
SAN MATEO, CALIF. (June 1, 2015) – GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO), enabler of some of today"s most immersive and engaging content, has announced the availability of its new HERO+ LCD camera. Capturing life-like high definition 1080p60 video and 8MP photos, the HERO+ LCD features a convenient touch display for easy shot framing, settings control and access to an all-new in-camera video trimming feature. Like the entry-level HERO, the HERO+ LCD is built directly into its waterproof housing. The simplicity of this all-in-one design now combines with expanded features to make capturing life’s memorable moments easier than ever.
Rugged and waterproof to 131’ (40m), HERO+ LCD also includes advanced features like HiLight Tagging and in-camera video trimming to make it easier to identify and share your favorite moments. HiLight Tagging lets you mark key moments while recording and during playback so you can easily find them later, and the all-new video trimming feature allows you to create short clips in-camera for easier sharing without a computer.
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® connect the HERO+ LCD to your GoPro App-enabled smartphone or tablet for easy camera control and shot preview when your camera is mounted or out of reach. The GoPro App also allows for easy content sharing to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and more and combines with the new in-camera video trimming feature to form a convenient content sharing solution.
“HERO+ LCD illustrates that even as we push the limits of life capture with bleeding-edge devices like the HERO4 Black, we’re also focused on delivering accessible, high-quality capture solutions to anyone wanting to GoPro,” said Nick Woodman, founder and CEO of GoPro.
Whether you are a first-time user or a GoPro veteran, the HERO+ LCD is an impressive capture solution. It combines GoPro’s famed image quality, versatility and durability with WiFi connectivity, long battery life and touch display convenience in an all-in-one design.
HERO+ LCD will be available for purchase in the U.S. at authorized GoPro retailers and GoPro.com beginning June 7, 2015. International availability will begin July 12.
Today GoPro announced its latest action camera, the GoPro HERO+ LCD. This marks the first time GoPro has done an ‘off-cycle’ release of a new camera product, as the company has historically released new action cams in the September/October timeframe. It also bookends a rather busy week of announcements for the company. Last week they announced both their intentions of launching a drone early next year, as well as their crazy 6-camera spherical mount system. And that’s all before we talk about an apparent upcoming software update to start cloud sync of GoPro files to some sort of still unannounced internet service. And don’t forget that even more crazy 16-camera virtual reality mount they built for Google.
The new GoPro HERO+ LCD is sorta exactly as the name implies: It’s the 2014 GoPro HERO…plus…an LCD screen. Well, and connectivity over WiFi and Bluetooth Smart.
You’ll likely remember that the entry level GoPro HERO was $129US, and had a non-removable external case. That meant that you couldn’t take it out of the case, which in turn meant you couldn’t add in any additional rear-attaching accessories such as the extra battery packs or LCD screen.
They also added in the WiFi and Bluetooth Smart compatibility. Not for sensors, but rather for connecting to your mobile phone. This connectivity allows you to transfer photos and videos over to your phone, and then up to the interwebs. Further, the HERO+ LCD includes the remote highlight tagging, which wasn’t available on the lower end model. This means you can use the remote control to tag highlights so you can find them quicker later on during editing.
Finally, the camera has an internal editing capability, allowing you to slice the clips a bit better before transferring them. This helps reduce the time to transfer video clips to your phone, making the process a little bit quicker. This is planned to come to the HERO4 Silver later this summer, and the HERO4 Black as well (if you have bought the additional LCD back touchscreen).
Now the downside is that you can’t swap out batteries like the more expensive HERO4 Silver & HERO4 Black. Nor can you remove it from the case like those other units (at +$100 and +$200 respectively). You’ll also lack the 2.7K and 4K video, as well as some of the higher speed options found like the 120/240FPS speeds. Same goes for lack of HDMI connectivity.
But the reality is that for the vast majority of folks wanting an affordable camera, the specs hit the core of the market. The noted 2.5 hour battery life is in the ballpark of most other units these days (though, without a way to swap batteries, that can be a problem for certain activities). Here’s a comparison between the four GoPro HERO units:
The Hero+ LCD unit includes a few different back doors, so you can use it in wet environments and still touch the screen, as well as using an open door too.
This is a brilliant move by GoPro. Since last October’s announcements came out, it left a bit of a hole in the price range. They had the GoPro HERO Basic (2014 Edition) at $129, but then the next camera up was at $399US (HERO4 Silver), and then the HERO4 Black at $499 at the top. For many (including myself), the brilliant touch screen on the back of the HERO4 Silver was loved – but for most consumers that was a bit pricey when existing action cameras were mostly in the $200-$300 range. But with GoPro’s cheaper HERO base not having mobile phone connectivity and a bunch of other limitations, it wasn’t as ideal in the share-it-instantly world that is today.
By removing the 2.7K/4K support in the HERO4 Silver and focusing on 1080p (w/60FPS) support with good phone connectivity – they hit the majority of the audience (Oh, for those curious why I’ve said that Garmin needed to be at 2.7K support on their new XE product, it’s because they priced themselves that high).
In some ways, it’s almost like GoPro did a bit of a fake-you-out move price-wise. See, both TomTom and Garmin recently announced new cameras – and matched GoPro’s $399 prices for certain models (for reasons that even then seemed hard to justify). With those cameras being less well known, and specs to the average consumer in the same range – it was a hard sell. With the GoPro brand so strong, you have to compete and beat on multiple levels: Specifications and Prices.
In the case of Garmin, this move is even more so ironic – given Garmin recently cut the display when they updated Garmin VIRB lineup with the X/XE and decided to go without the preview screen that was present on the first generation units. A move that many of you thought was short-sighted (no PUN intended).
Looking forward, the real question is will GoPro again release this fall as they have done annually for years? With neither the recently announced Garmin or TomTom units actually shipping yet – it might be challenging for both if GoPro doubles down as usual in the fall with new models. In Garmin’s case, they are better positioned with a more unique offering around widely extended sensor offerings in the X/XE range, including new automotive and boating support – but that continues to be more of a niche offering at the $299 price point when trying to compete with GoPro branding/marketing. While TomTom will need to iterate quickly with their automated movie maker software to truly become a competitive offering.
Definitely an interesting market for sure. For those curious about my recommendations – for 95% of folks it’ll likely shift from the Hero4 Silver to the HERO+ LCD, assuming there are no issues with it. The reason being that if you’re using it for cycling and such, you can actually use your Garmin Edge device with the GoPro, inside of Garmin’s free VIRB Edit software suite – thus getting all the benefits of data overlays there (I suppose Garmin is probably happy you’re buying their device). It’s really only if you’re doing direct to camera sensors and don’t already have a GPS device for speed/distance/pace/altitude that I’d recommend looking at the Garmin X/XE lineup.

"The Autel EVO II 640Tprice is an excellent drone for photography enthusiasts who want to take great shots without investing a lot of money in equipment, We"re not going to charge you an arm and a leg for a camera that you can point and shoot and be ready to go" says CEO of Autelmfg Innovations ALLEN.
The extremely secure Autel robotics evo ii 8k 640t has 360 degrees of obstacle avoidance surrounding it. Comparable to a seat belt or an airbag. The autel drone is outfitted with a variety of sensors around the fuselage, on its top, bottom, behind, and in front. This autel robotics evo ii 8k has obstacle avoidance sensors everywhere you want to look, which is another amazing feature. This will ensure the safety of your drone.And robotics evo ii 8k EVO II 640T has adsv built in, which means it will alert you if an airplane is flying overhead or entering your airspace, requiring you to lower yourself to the ground and bring your drone as low to the ground as possible.
The intelligent controller of the Autel robotics evo ii 8k EVO II 640t is pure gold. And the Autel drone has a 9-inch screen, so you"ll be able to view whatever you want on this large screen without needing to attach your iPhone, iPad, or any other device. This is an extremely useful intelligent controller. You"ve exposed your HDMI port so that you can share it with others. This intelligent controller is indeed the best of the best.
The Autel Robotics EVO II 8K drone review performed very well. Another excellent feature of the EVO II 640t drone is that it may program the drone to fly in a pattern where it will automatically shoot all the required photographs. Then, you may submit these photographs to picks40 extremely quickly and efficiently. Instead of bringing a complete station to the site, you use a drone, launch it into the air, fly your map, and then leave the area. Thus, the mapping capabilities of this drone are extremely useful. Another excellent aspect of this drone is that there is no geo-fencing. With DJI and some other companies, you may have FAA approval to fly somewhere, only to discover that DJI has identified that area as a no-fly zone.
The Autel Robotics Evo II 8K camera gimbal supports both the Sony Alpha cameras like A6000 as well as GoPro Hero 3+. This camera drone comes with two 1/4 inch GPS port to connect to a smartphone either for photography or for the FPV video feed. This is all that is needed to connect an array of HD action cameras and s
