My go pro hero 3 wont switch on, wont charge and shows no red light. basically does nothing. was working 4 days ago but seemed to have short battery life. the camera is only 3 weeks old! Could it just be a lemon battery? would plugging the go pro into an i phone charger's USB wreck the battery?

I just bought a T3i and only used it 2 days of shooting. On third day, it's not turning on and it's 80 degree's. So not cold weather. Batteries are fully charged. When I put batter in and turn the switch on, the red light comes on for only a second and then nothing! Other times the red light won't even come on, period. As I said, I've only had it 3 days and it's dead....

Hi Ross, sorry for this delay, but the email does not seem to be working, I will get on this as soon as I can and will efinatly have something for you shortly, been one of those days and I am not catching up yet.

Re: Tronic T4X Battery Charger that is stuck in standby (red LED). Mine does the exact same thing. It was bought at Lidl in Norway when that company was present for a couple of years. I have taken the battery charger apart, but can not find any obvious faults, like blown components, bad soldering, etc. I also wonder why it fails like that. Just now I measured the tactile switch (mode button) with a multimeter, and it seems that it is faulty. 2 pairs is always connected, lets say pins 1 and 3 is always connected and pins 2 and 4 is always connected. No matter if the button is pressed. However pressing the button does not make a connection between the mentioned pairs of pins. There is always a 2,76 MOhm resistance between the pairs, even when the button is pressed. This makes me think that the button is faulty. This is how a tactile switch works: https://www.digikey.com/en/articles/the-basics-of-tactile-switches

Edit: I just soldered a couple of wires from either side of the switch. Then I could power up the charger and make contact between the pins while it was on and showing the red indicator light. I measured 5VDC between the wires and 0VDC when I shorted the wires. The LED did not change at all. The output of the charging leads was 30 mVDC while contact was open, and 10mVDC when the button was "pressed" (wires shorted). Maybe I have to have a battery connected for the charger to start charging/change mode? That will be the next thing to try.

I ran into the problem and it was corrosion on the battery terminals. on the inside against the battery. also check the the terminals for good connection.
Stay warm

connect to your PC and delete all service book through your blackberry software

You need to replace the battery in this unit as its not putting out enough charge to power the unit even tho it says it charged.


hope this helps


Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edwy_1a56970cf1ea4620

The battery has been drained too much. You'll need to get a new battery or the battery needs to be externally charged to at least 50% externally

OK this seems weird but if you have like a Nintendo Wii or a PlayStation 2 or 3 take you sync cable and plug your zune into the usb port on the system because sometimes the battery is just so dead that it dosent have enough power for the computer pick it up. mine done this a few days ago and i left it plugged into my Nintendo Wii over night and it started working again

i think ur phons circuit is short .so thats why
