GoPro Hero 3 Black USB Port

[SafetyGuy]

Bloody usb port on my Hero 3 has stopped working. Won';t charge or give any signal in or out. Got a damn shoot tomorrow.

Anyone had or fixed this???

[Hands0n]

No, but seen similar on Samsung phones!  Have you tried a different USB cable?  Sometimes works ...

[SafetyGuy]

OK managed to fix it. Looks like the inner part of the connector within the GoPro must have bent slightly so not making connection. Nothing that a pen couldn';t sort out when jammed in lol. Fingers crossed :)

Well done,where are you filming, is it in Stevenage ?

[SafetyGuy]

Yeah. Will reveal all afterwards :)

[Desmoboy]

Reveal all sir

Sounds like my dad who always mended the TV with a kick or a thump with his fist! Seemed to work a treat
