GoPro Hero5 Black: Go Pro hero 5 Black water damage?

Mon, 11 Jun 2018 20:55:59 -0700

Hi Guys,

I used my GoPro to capture corals and fishes in the shore and after few minutes, there's a blurred lines showing in the screen but it's still working. After few minutes, I tried shaking my gopro to get rid of the water and it went away. Then suddenly, I noticed that my GoPro is starting to heat then I removed my battery.

After few hours, I inserted the battery and it's not turning on - it just shows a blue blinking light.

Tried again the next day and the three red lights are showing (sometimes)

Plugging a charger is not working as well.

Any thoughts?

Thank you guys.

GoPro Hero5 Black: Hero 5 front screen have a flashing black line

Fri, 05 May 2017 04:26:24 -0700

I just bought the Hero 5 a few days ago. Haven't have any chance to test it in water yet and just after the second time charging the camera, I found a flashing back line on the front screen and the LCD touch screen have an 0.5c black line at the bottom of the screen. The camera get hot easily since I put the battery in and start using it.

I am so disappointed and sad because it is and V day gift and I need it for my March vacation trip.

If I bring back to the store will I get warranty. I mean will it be replace with a new one?
