Signs your GoPro HERO3 needs this repair
- "No SD" or "SD error" messages
- Card won't click in or stay in
- Recording stops or files are corrupted
- Card not detected after a drop
- Bent pins inside the slot
- Camera freezes when recording
How we fix it
We test with known working cards first, because a faulty or slow card is a common cause.
If the slot is damaged, we replace it and test recording at the highest quality setting.
How long it takes
SD card slot repairs are usually done within one to two working days.
Good to know: Use a fast, good quality card rated for your camera's video settings. Slow cards cause recording errors.
Questions
Can you get my footage off the card?
Often, yes. See our data recovery for SD cards.
Could it just be my SD card?
Sometimes. We test with our own cards first.
