IMO the screen is a waste, If you're mounting it on your helmet, test angles before you take it to the mountain (I AM FUCKING TIRED OF WATCHING YOUR SKIS WHILST YOU SKI, SOMETIMES I LIKE TO WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING.) If you are doing follow cams, use 1080 or 720 at 60fps and what you see is pretty much what the GoPro sees thanks to it's wide view. If I could get a screen for free, by all means I would get one but other than that I wouldn't drop that much money on something so pointless.

I'm guessing you don't have the firmware installed...read the manual or go to the gopro website/support

you're sure your gopro is charged and that you fully installed the firmware?

i had that problem too but it worked fine once i got everything charged and installed.

Try to take the firmware off of your gopro, then reinstall it that's what I had to do the first time I used it.

i'm having this same problem. firmware was installed and the camera was switched to lcd on mode but still the screen does nothing. maybe i'll try to install everything again (for the third time) but i thought i'd post in here in case anyone has any other ideas.
