HERO7 Black | Water Damage [ ref:_00Do0HJuF._5003b1RhQOR:ref [ New ]

[ryank207]

Hi,

I was using my new Hero 7 at La Jolla Cove in San Diego this passed Saturday (10/26), snorkeling and taking pictures of seals and fish, diving to a max depth of about 10'. About 30 minutes into my swim the back screen showed a sim card error icon. Then the battery level icon started dropping to 1%, then back to 40%, back to 1% etc.Then thin red, horizontal lines popped up on the screen. I tried to turn it off underwater and turn it back on but it wouldn't turn back on. When I got back to my car, I opened the battery compartment and water dumped out. Same with the USB/power compartment.
