My bmpcc 6k pro won't turn on

PostWed Dec 29, 2021 3:24 pm

Hello colleagues, yesterday I was recording with my bmpcc6k pro in 2k at 120fps, it suddenly turned off and now it does not turn on.
The off and on led constantly stays amber and turns off when I turn off the power.
Tried:
AC power
weipu - NPF
Internal npf, until now it does not turn on anymore. :cry: :cry: :cry:

How did you power the camera when it failed?

try to turn it on again and also try the ac current connector, the only thing that turns on is an amber led.

reflash firmware procedure:
1) Power down the camera - disconnect all power sources etc

2) Reconnect DC power and then hold down the 'focus' button while powering up the camera. It should come up with a dark screen but you should hear the fan.

3) Reconnect USB and attempt to flash it again.


If this does not work, you have destroyed your camera due to undervoltage with the NP-F plate

Is it possible to destroy a bmpcc by undervoltage?

That may depend upon the camera but the Pocket cameras just shutdown without warning when the voltage is too low. That’s happened to me with no ill effects other than embarrassment. Never had power run low on the URSA Mini 4.6K so I’ll leave that to others to address. I should add that I wasn’t recording at the moment of shutdown but that might be fatal for your media card.

And then there are ground loops if anything else is powered from the same source.

I had this happen with my BMCC6K and I just needed to remove the battery for it to turn on again
