Change Battery In Gopro Hero 7 Silver

Okay, so picture this: you're on a mountaintop. The wind is whipping, the view is breathtaking, and the GoPro Hero 7 Silver is ready to capture the most epic selfie of your life.

Except, it's not.

Because the dreaded battery icon is blinking. Blinking mockingly, like it knows your deepest fear is a dead battery at the most inconvenient time.

The Great Battery Escape

First, you'll need to find the battery door. It's that little slot on the side that seems determined to stay closed forever. Think of it like a tiny, stubborn treasure chest guarding all the photographic gold.

You might need fingernails for this, or a small, blunt object. Maybe your trusty multi-tool if you are the kind of person who brings one to a mountaintop for selfies. If you don't have fingernails, or if your multi-tool happens to be buried at the bottom of your backpack (like mine usually is), I find a dull coin will do the trick.

Gently wedge it in the slot and pry. Don’t go full Hulk on it – you don’t want to break it.

Success! The door pops open. (Hopefully.)

Now, for the main event: ejecting the old battery. It’s snug in there, like it's trying to win a contest for "Most Comfortable Battery In A GoPro."

There's usually a little ribbon or tab you can pull. If not, a gentle nudge will usually work. If it doesn’t, just accept that it might fall out when it wants too.

The Battery Tango

Ah, the new battery! Shiny, full of promise, and ready to document your adventures. Notice which way the old one came out; the new one fits in the same direction.

Slide it in, making sure it clicks into place. If it doesn’t click, don’t force it, you might break the camera. Try flipping it over to make sure it's facing the correct way.

Remember the door? Time to wrestle it shut. It can be a bit fiddly, so don't feel bad if you have to try a couple times.

Press firmly until it clicks securely. This is important, because you don't want the battery door flapping open while you're filming yourself doing something cool.

A Moment of Truth

Power on the GoPro. Please, let there be power! If the screen lights up, congratulations! You have successfully changed the battery.

If not, double-check that the battery is seated correctly. If you are still having issues, try swapping it out again to make sure the battery didn't come with any damage.

Now, go forth and capture those epic moments, knowing you've conquered the tiny but mighty GoPro battery challenge. Because let's be honest, changing a battery is a victory in itself.

Consider this your own personal survival guide, a testament to your resilience in the face of dwindling power. Remember this moment of battery changing success in the future.

You are a GoPro battery changing hero!
