SD error every time after charging the battery directly from the camera

[gifurama]

Hello guys, I get a new Hero 5 just 2 day s ago, but every time that I charge the battery and turn on the camera again, give me an SD error on the screen, at firs I think it was an defective card but, then I discovered something, wen I receive this error I just plug the cart on my Mac and eject them immediately,  doing this make it useful again but, I’m having this problem every time, no matter if I charge the camera using my computer or an usb charger.

what can I do to fix the problem?, the camera is on the last firmware

ithank you for your time.

Hey Javier,

@gifurama

I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with that camera. What SD Card are you using?

Best,

Ryan

Hi there,

I have the same issue with my micro SD 32Gb HC card. Every time I charge my GoPro (new Hero 5 Black bought Jan 2018) and turn it on after charging, it says card error on screen. I have to put the card into my laptop, remove everything and then it works on the GoPro again. Sometimes I don't delete all the files but once i put it back into the GoPro from the computer it works again. It's a bit annoying since it means I always need to have a laptop with me every time I finish charging the GoPro.

Hope there's a solution!

Unfortunately in my case I got a replacement for the camera, looks. Like is a hardware problem not a software, I tried some different Micro SD of the front of the memory sizes and different speeds and always how you got the same problem, I recommend you read through the camera for a new one with your warranty

Thanks for the advice about the warrantee and I'll look into that. Shame to hear that you had all that hassle but glad they were able to sort you out with a new camera :)

Hey Javier

Have you formatted your SD card and tried again? I had a  similar issue and i just re-formatted my SD card and havent had any errors since.

Yes, several times and cards with the same results unfortunately
