There are several ways to fix a non-starting GoPro:
• The battery should be fully charged and securely inserted first.
• Try a different battery to see if that helps.
• Check the GoPro's power source, whether a wall outlet or computer USB port, for proper operation and security.
• Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds to force restart the GoPro if it's unresponsive.
• Software bugs may cause a problem. Follow the GoPro user manual to reset the camera. This usually involves pressing certain buttons for a set time.
If none of these solutions work, the problem may be more serious. Contact GoPro support for repairs or replacement.
