GHD 5.0 including "Gold Series"

This generation of GHDs were launched at the end of 2010 are similar to the Mk4 models with a few changes.

Correct operation is as follows:

Turn on - Rising beep. GHD logo pulses slowly
Ready for use - Beep Beep Beeeeep. GHD logo illuminated continuously.

The Mk4 debug guide is correct for this model so if you have a problem with your GHDs, check out that debug guide.

Cable

The main change is that GHD have done away with the flawed cable socket that they used in the previous generation of straightener and replaced it with a design that is similar to the old mk3 cable socket.

We don't stock this particular style of cable, as the type 2 cable from previous generations is compatible. When the cable and cable socket are replaced as a pair this cable is suitable. There is a guide of how to do this replacement here. Here is what the new cable socket looks like when fitted:
