Hey Did you pull out the cables between the outer casing and mother boards? More specifically the gold tipped smaller ones? This is normally the issue. If you dissemble the GoPro to the point where the mother board it free from the LCD board then you should be able to put this back in place and then put it all back together again (although it's a little tricky) if that's not fixed it then it could be a component part which needs to be replaced.

Hi Charles Yes you can repair it pretty easily. You need to almost completely desemble the camera tho. So make sure you have a good quality screw driver. What you want to do is make sure that you connect the gold cable and power to the motherboard before putting it all back together again. You might need a pretty good tweezer as well to help. Good luck. Geoff

hey guys Thanks for the follow up and inputs. so i decided to go full SSD. i have the New SSD carrier with flex cable + 512GB PCIe + 2TB SSD i also have the ifix pro kit. I created a time machine back up yesterday and currently creating a OSX boot drive in case. now all i need to do is find some quite time and space and then i can start the procedure. hopefully i can complete this in the next 2 weeks. I have used the cloning software in the past on PC which was great but i think i will either just rebuild from a clean install or just restore from the time machine. ill try share results ASAP. Update (01/18/2016): So update!! I completed the upgrade today. I didn't make the video as promised but I have taken a few photos that I can share if needed. The normal HDD mini doesn't need the whole carrier replacement as it has the fixing hole for the blade SSD already. You just need to find the flex cable and then secure it to the carrier already in your mini. The PCIe interface is on the logic board next to the IR...

Hi there I have the same idea. I have the Mac mini 2014 8gb 2.6ghz with the 1tb HDD. It is possible to add the PCIe . Do you want to run it as FUSION or duel drives? Fusion will require basic terminal knowledge which really is easy if that's what you want. Video link here http://youtu.be/w4NqbGEJpN4 I want to run duel drive tho. So in future I can take out the HDD and add a SSD if needed. Problem is I can't find a video to show how to migrate from HDD to PCIe. What you need to buy 1- You might find the flex cable from someone selling Mac mini parts on eBay. Otherwise looks for 076-00040 which is the HDD Carrier which comes with the flex cable and hole to fix the PCIe down. 2 - look for an apple Samsung PCIe for 2013 onwards MacBooks. Or part MZ-JPV5120 ( for the 512gb otherwise just replace the 512 with 128 or 256 for smaller SSD or you could hunt for the 1tb version) 3 - http://youtu.be/G3MmzNRIkJM this shows how to do the upgrade. It says fusion but it's duel and incomplete because he still runs the OS...

Don't remove the ribbon in red unless your replacing the LCD. Unless you want to end up replacing the LCD

You can't remove the centre red screw until you do step 7-10 and then wiggle the board free
