Hero 5 Session gets very hot when charging and wont startup

[barleymo]

My Session 5 wouldnt turn on so i plugged it in to charge, thinking the battery was dead but it just got hot, really hot, no lights on at all and wouldnt start, cant even re-boot it, noting its dead.

Anyone else had this problem, how do i return it to Gopro ??
