After tinkering with it for two days, it finally let me have its way with it and let me update the system via SD card (format). Now it works, but I wonder for how much longer again..

Sorry to start up any hopes, but I'm just chiming in to say that my unit is also having this exact problem. Started yesterday. Please someone report back with a fix!

I currently have a different strain of this problem. My unit stopped working yesterday.

The unit starts up and goes into a black screen, except I'm unable to do anything with it. The iPod connector does not get power, pressing the menu button repeatedly does not work, and I can't even get into testmode or past the service menu key entering screen. It keeps telling me that I'm entering the wrong key or it won't even let me enter a code. I was able to get past this three times out of hundreds of tries and then it would freeze at the next menu. For reference, I'm trying to fix the unit with the FX3.1 package.

I've had this thing for two and a half years now and I really hate Pioneer for all its problems.
