Hero session camera won't power up, just shows solid blue light when plugged in

[graydive3675]

My GoPro Session suddenly would not power up after some use. Tried hard reset, a new SD card, all of the above. I plugged it into it's charger and see a SOLID blue light on the back of the camera, and a faint but also solid blue light on the front LED. Small LED screen on top does not turn on at all. My computer will also not recognize the camera as being plugged in, most likely as it won't actually fully power on. 

Has anyone experienced this? Ive seen threads where the blue light is flashing, but none about a solid blue light, and none describing these same symptoms. 

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
