Black Magic URSA Mini Pro won't Power on

PostFri Feb 23, 2018 7:33 pm

Hello Family,

I have a problem with my Black Magic mini pro,(Its now two months old) it has completely failed to start/power on, nothing works. Recharging and changing batteries won't help. I have tried to power it directly using the power cable, nothing works. I have tried removing the lenses, cards and any external attachments the problem still persists.

The pervious day, it worked very well, the following morning when I reached the set, it powered on well, then I switched it off, it failed to start again, after 10 minutes I switched it on and it powered. I switched it off again to see if it can power again. It has completely failed to power on since then.

Has anyone experienced this problem or know how I can fix it, without shipping back to Black Magic, because its too expensive for me to ship it from Uganda. Thanks in advance.

Have you tryed to connect it to a laptop with a USB-C cable? Does the BMD camra utility see the camera when you power it from the power supply??

I have tried connecting it to a laptop via USB C - Cable and its read. Also shows that the camera needs an update when I try to update it, it requires powering it on which don't work. So I am still stuck.

What??? The camera is powered so that the updater sees the version number and shows that the camera needs an update - and simultaneously the camera is NOT powered and so could not be updated?
