  Failing to power up after 9.1.3 update…

  Posted by Chemix Ferreiro on August 21, 2014 at 3:12 pm

  Hi there!
  I’m having an issue firing up my BMCC after the 9.1.3 update.
  The cam will only start if it’s plugged in. Turn it off, unplug it and no signs of life…
  When plugged in, battery reads 100% with light blue icon.
  Any clues?

  Thanks in advance

  Assuming that all steps were done by the book, I would try reinstalling the update. If you plug the camera in and try to update, does it run the firmware update or does it say that it is already up to date?

  It says it’s up to date now but it did ask to upgrade twice before… In other words, I’ve ‘upgraded’ 3 times now

  It sounds to me like there was a problem in the initial upgrade itself that now might have done something wonky to the operating system of the camera. Obviously you’ve tried different batteries etc……

  Usually reinstalling firmware can be a solid general software fix but in this case it sounds like something went wrong early on. Maybe a bad USB cable or something damaged the signal itself during the instal. I hate to say it but at this point I would contact Blackmagic support. It might need to be sent in for service.
