Occasional black screen on startup after software v0.2 update
« on: November 15, 2017, 03:29:43 PM »
Hi David,

This isn't much of a hindrance since it resolves by doing a hard reset, but sometimes, perhaps 10% of the time when I boot the camera up, all I get is a black screen. The power button light will be on but nothing else. Once you release the updated firmware I'll see if the problem is resolved and report back.

We've been able to duplicate this on our end too. Looking into what's causing it.

I also got this problem the first time today on my camera (serial number 00066).

I also had this problem occasionally. However, now I can't turn it on at all. The power button and power status indicator is on but nothing else. Tried a hard reset at least 10 times. Any suggestions?

Hi Matom, try the procedure on the software updates page near the bottom, "Restoring a camera that won't boot"

It worked. Thank you! Do you know what causes it or how we can avoid the issue?

I also had this a few times and I found that it happens less if you don't put a memory card in before or during boot.
might be coincidental or confirmation bias though  ;)
