GoPro Camera Repair Diagnostic

That's a useful clue. If the Hero 11 Black runs on USB power with no battery but shuts off as soon as a battery goes in, the problem is usually the battery or the contacts it touches. A battery with a failed cell or protection circuit can pull the voltage down and make the camera shut off. Bent, dirty or corroded contacts in the battery bay can cause a short or a bad reading too. Try another genuine GoPro Enduro battery if you can. If the camera works with it, you just need a new battery. Look at the gold contacts in the bay with a light, and if they look green, dark or pushed in, stop forcing batteries in. If a good battery doesn't fix it, the fault may be in the battery circuit on the main board. Order the free GoPro diagnostic and we'll test the battery circuit and quote before any work. If you decline, there's no bench fee, only return shipping.
