edboy21 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 hello guys, I'm having problems with my HU.. My car battery died a few days ago, so I replaced it. Once everything was hooked up, my HU won't turn on at all. Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott O Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Does it do anything? Does the splash screen come on? Or does it seem like there is no power to the unit at all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott O Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Sounds like there is no power going to the unit. Did you put the new battery in yourself or did somebody else do it? I'm thinking maybe there was previously another wire connected to the battery, maybe for an amp, that was also supplying power to the radio and it didn't get reconnected when the battery was replaced. If not that, check your fuses. Next would be to unplug the radio and check if you've got power there with a test light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott O Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 From what I understand this is caused by system files becoming corrupted. I had the same problem with mine. Go here viewtopic.php?f=34&t=32351 and follow the instructions. When you get to step 7 you need to remove the sd card, either while you're holding the reset button down or shut the unit off and remove the card. The process is also outlined here viewtopic.php?f=33&t=25424 and here viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25817. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
