Blue blink, blink, blink.. but it doesn't start

My camera doesn’t start. It only blinks blue several times and doesnt do anything else. It repeats the blue blinking every 30 sec or so but it doesnt boot up. I try to plug it to the computer but it doesnt recognize. I ahve used it this week and all was file. After transferring the photos to the computer, I left it plugged to the computer to charge and the next day when I picked it up again to take more photos, I tried to start it and it didn’t react execpt with the blue blinking.

It has happened 2 times today that I left it plugged and it came to life on its own but with no loggincal reason.

How can I do a factory reset or reinstallation of firmware?

Try changing the USB cable.

You may want to get a data blocker like this for $7.

If you have a THETA V, press and hold down the power button for around 10 seconds.

If that doesn’t work, press and hold down the Wi-Fi and Power buttons for 18 seconds.

If that doesn’t work, try this plug-in.

If you’re still stuck, try change the USB cable again and use your mobile phone charger plugged into a wall.

Hopefully, the battery just needs to be charged.
