Hero 3 Black Freezing Fix?

[tarjeh31255]

My GoPro 3+ black edition freezes up. No response from mode button, and have to remove battery to shut down. Independent of battery and memory card, and failes to manually update firmware (freezes up). It used to happen once in a while, but now it is impossible to use. It has not been physically damaged.

I have never had any such issues with my 3 x GP Hero,1 x GP Hero 3 black or 2 x GP Hero 5 black, and hope to find a solution.

Hi @tarjeh31255

As the camera freezes even without the SD card, this means that the issue can be on the unit itself.

Should you have another SD card (recommended), please attempt a manual software update.
