My GoPro Hero 3 Black edition won't turn off after a few day I forgotten to turn off the wifi. At first I thought it was the battery that is faulty so I bought a brand new original GoPro battery to replace the old one.

At first, I was so happy when I tried the new battery into my unit and it turned on at the store. After that I went home and try to charge my brand new battery, after hours of charging the brand new battery is not holding any charges at all. It was 2 bars when I bought it from the store and after hours of charging it is now 1 bar left.

LCD screen stated it is charging when I on the GoPro and the red light that indicate it is charging is also on. So I assume it wasn't the battery at fault.

Anyone have this issue before or any solution or any idea whats happening?

1. Update your gopro firmware. I believe the updated firmware improves the battery life a little.
2. Ensure that wifi is off
3. (If you can't seem to charge/turn on the gopro) Remove SD card, LCD/bat backpack and charge the battery until it's fully charged. Also charge it when the gopro is off.

Thanks bro, but it will not work for my case. my new bought battery has 1 bar level how. to update the firmware i need at least 2 bars and my unit is not charging my battery at all.
