If you don't get the first part, pushing the 4 buttons, just right it will restart after 10 seconds. Here's some comments from this post viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25751

I never heard a pop sound from my speakers when I did it.

 

 

 

Step 4: Turn unit on. When the pioneer logo comes up, press and hold the menu, map, eject and the reset button at the same time. When you hear a pop sound from your speakers, let go of the eject button but continue to hold menu and map buttons. This will bring you to a blue screen where you will have to enter the service combination. Press the volume knob in this sequence and you will see * signs for each push: Up, Up, Down, Menu, Left, Right.

HELP!!!

 

When I get into the service menu, my screen will go black after 20 or so seconds. Even once I get to Update via SD (Format) and I click it, it will start reading the files and then the unit will just go black. This happens every time, even if I go into the service menu but don't click anything. When I reboot the unit (without trying to get into the service menu), the screen just stays black, nothing comes up. I have 2.006 installed on my F900.

 

Once I reboot the unit I can successfully get back into the service menu, but then it goes to black screen.

Nevermind, figured out the problem.

 

You have to hold all four buttons, then release the reset button first, then release the eject button, then you get the blue screen (without a time limitation). I also got no pop from the speakers, I just guessed on timing.
