Go Pro won't connect to computer
[ New ]Hi
I'm really hoping someone can help fairly quickly, I go away skiing tomorrow and could do with the issue fixed today!!
I bought a new go pro hero 8 black and have just set it up. At first it was fine, but I've just tried again to connect it to my laptop and it won't work anymore. First time, the USB connection symbol appeared on the front screen but now it doesn't, the camera is just switched on as normal. The laptop makes the noise as if a USB has connected, and it starts charging the camera, but it doesn't show as properly connected (ie there's no drive to open). I'm using the offical cable, it's the only one I've got. Why did it work and now it doesn't and how can I fix this? I've tried my laptop and desktop computer.

Re: Go Pro won't connect to computer
[ New ]Hi @hairball9,
Please make sure that your camera is turned on before connecting it to your computer.
Please check if it will work using other USB C cable.
You may also uninstall and reinstall the USB driver of your camera: https://gopro.com/help/articles/solutions_troubleshooting/Camera-is-Not-Recognized-on-GoPro-App-for-...
If your camera shows up as MTP device: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uem6BbNEj-I
If issue persist please contact GoPro customer support: https://gopro.com/help/ContactUs

Re: Go Pro won't connect to computer
[ New ]Thank you. The camera is turned on. I don't have another cable to try, although like I say, it was working initially.
I'll take a look at those links, thanks!
