Pocket 6K Pro Not Powering Up

PostSat Jan 15, 2022 2:05 pm

I have a pretty new Pocket 6K Pro. Using a stock battery with a stock power adapter it worked fine for a long time, lots of shoots.

Last shoot, it was on shore power the whole time since it was a tripod setup. Worked all day, came in the next day, and it wouldn’t turn on. Flipping the power switch would make the LED turn red but not turn the camera on. I unplugged shore power, removed the battery, then put the battery back in, and it worked again.

I had to do that the following day as well. Now, a week later, the unit is completely dead. Two batteries, two power supplies, nothing works.

Anything else to try?

Have you tried using the camera’s power supply without a battery installed in the camera?
