Default ***An Update To My Gopro Problems**

Just to let everyone know that the issues I had trying to get the Wifi working are most likely a problem in the units themselves.

I contact Gopro about the situation and they reached the conclusion that there is a problem in one of the units and not in my lack of Geekness

They have approved RMA and I am sending it back today.
Since it is unlikely that I will get it back in time for the lap day at VIR, I am falling back on my camcorder to vid the runs.

Sorry to hear about your issues with the GoPro.. glad to hear that they have acknowledged that it is their problem and not something that you had done..

Hopefully you can enjoy the camera again soon!

Got my new Gopro camera and wifi back pack. Went thru all the set up expecting to be shooting some fabulous video this weekend. we are having the Toys for Tots on Saturday.

Put a full charge on all pieces. Ran the proceedure for pairing as per instructions.


Wifi back pack will not turn on..

I may just offer all of this for sale soon. My blood pressure can't handle the aggravation.

I am so tempted to do what you did. What's stopping me is that the camera was a Christmas gift from Linda. It might hurt her feelings.

guess I'll rely on my backup that works very well.
