I recently purchased an osmo pocket.  Had it for one day and not sure what happened but the unit won't power on nor take a charge.  Is their an override to reset the unit?

the same happens to me update the Osmo pocket and I finish loading I tried to use it and it does not turn on it does not charge or start

I took the unit back to the point of purchase.  I may revisit this device again next year.  I really liked the unit just upset at the power failure.  When talking to a dji support rep, they recommended returning the unit.

i think mine might have the same issue, i left mine to charge over night it was at 40% charge using the charger plug they gave me plugged into my PC, then i woke up it didnt turn on at all !!!! then i used my Anker USB-C charger it is charging now but ill see over time if same issue.

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. It's recommended to use a USB adapter of 5V/2A USB for optimal charging. Make sure to charge the Osmo Pocket in an environment where the temperature is within 5°-60° C for safety. Osmo Pocket limits the charge current when it's temperature is between 45°-60° C. In that case, Osmo Pocket cannot be fully charged. Please keep us posted on the latest progress.

I have the same issue. I was able to activate and update the firmware with no problem. So I plug it in to charge and went back to it after dinner and it won't power on. Disappointing.

Returning it tomorrow. Wasting my time.

It's OK. I am going to return it. I would have tried a replacement unit from the camera store but when I tried to cancel my Shield order, your agent refused to cancel it unless I show a proof that I returned it! Are you guys serious?

Hello, good evening and request my case number (1518461) could you help me to tell me what is the protocol to send the osmo pocket to revision

Instead of apologizing that the product is dead in arrival, she is some how concerned that i would return the Shield and kept the unit to cheat you a year of warranty?

I got the same issue. I went out and shot a lot of footage with my sister... came back an hour later... REFUSES TO POWER ON, or even charging... I think the latest firmware update broke the unit. My Osmo Pocket is now... paperweight.

Same issue here. so frustrating ...
I just got it arrived today. and play for a while after charge .....  good design but bad manufacturing will definitely ruin the business ...

asking for replacement, but don't know how long to wait ...

Refunded it today. Maybe next Christmas after you guys fixed all the bugs.

Yes, same issue here too.  Just 24 hours old and only used it for about 15mins.  Tried different power apapters, cables... it's completely dead.

Mine won't turn on as well. I was able to update the firmware and activate it. I was able to use it and then turned it off while at work. When I tried to use it for our holiday party, it would no longer charge or turn on. My friend bought it for me in New York but I'm in the Philippines now. This is so frustrating!

Can I ask all of you if you stored your Osmo Pockets in the supplied carry case when not in use? I'm convinced the OP doesn't entirely switch off and that there is a slow power drain from the gimble not parking correctly after switch off. I'm not sure if anyone has tested this as of yet no-one has replied to my post on the subject either confirming theirs behaves the same as mine or not. Admins have also kept strangely quiet in replying to my query as well. If I'm right, then the power drain would continue beyond the batteries capacity to recharge.

My OP was in the supplied case.  I took it out of the case and realized it wouldn't charge nor power on.

Please read my post here and you will see why I'm concerned about the gimble behavior. If it does have slight power when switched off and the gimble pushes against the side of the case when at rest then I think that could cause a power drain. Unfortunately, I can't for the moment test this further myself as mine is boxed up until Christmas. To my mind, the gimbles should move freely when the power is off and kept in the vertical position and it isn't free moving but feels powered. At least on my unit, it feels that way. My wife did let me check it over before being wrapped up :-)

I also stored it in the carrying case right after use. Charged it and its still not working at all.

And still no replies from any Dji Mod about any of my posts. So not even trying to replicate this behavior to confirm or rebuke my findings.

I'm so sorry to read your post. Just to verify, do you use the original charger and keep the unit charging for a certain time? If still no luck, I'm afraid that you may contact your friend and help to send the unit in for diagnosis. Sorry about this.

Hey Guys,
Just read your issues & thought to share mine and get some help.
I got a brand new DJI OSMO Pocket from the USA through a friend. Updated the firmware, completed the first full charge and its dead. What's the solution? I charged it for around 1 hour and it is not booting up.
Any way to get this hard reset or is it dead?

Had the Dji pocket for one day and now it won’t power on or taking the charge. Very disappointed!

Update:  Went to the Dji store at downtown San Francisco today and was told nothing they can do about it.

No... they didn’t even bother to take a look at it. Just asked me to call the their customer service number. But the customer service number only open Monday thru Friday... I’m supposed use it for my friends and family holiday parties this week ... they should have locally service centers for problems like this.

Having the same problem here. Bought my osmo pocket on 20/12, used it to take some photos and had its firmware updated yesterday and charged a device for few hours. Today I can't power on or even charge osmo pocket. Any troubleshooting?

SAME HERE! Its been a week since i purchase te OP, but in the middle of the shoot, it failed. The unit won’t power on, i did my best to troubleshoot even though i dont know how, its really frustrating especially im in the middle of the event and im using it! It ended up with my phone camera, argh!

My osmo pocket also failed to start up. Worse thing now is I'm on Christmas holidays and need it for filming.

This is downright ridiculous.

same problem with me. really frustrating. got it from DJI china, but seems i need to send it to the Netherlands for repair??? hopefully replacement. waiting for confirmation. considering its Christmas Eve not sure when i will hear.
