treker Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 so you think i should: 1- format MBR 2- try again update of wince correct? i found a thread were someone said if you can't pass the read process and write, it surely means that the flash memory is damaged.. i think this could be the case also...

treker Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 well i tried to do a MBR Format but that doesn't do anything, i mean the unit doesn't work.. so i guess that the problem should now be hardware related.. I did a UBoot test and it returns "Bad"... only the memory test returns a OK. All other tests or actions cannot be performed via service mode, unit looks to be dead with faint heard beat...

tail24 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 So after doing MBR did you try and load wince? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
treker Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 yes and not working... anyway i called Pioneer in france and the guy was really cool.. during the discussion he noticed a i bought the unit 2 months ago from a car dealer.. he told me that if i had a bill notice from this car dealer, then my unit even used, was under warranty for 3 months!!! so in order to save money he told me to call this car dealer so that this last one would send the unit covered by the warranty.. i called the guy and guess what, it is under warranty, so it will not cost me a dollar (euro in fact !!) so once returned i will be able to tell you exactly the diagnose and if you are interested will have a fresh new unit to give you files from For folks out there the cost at Pioneer for a soft rebuild is at 130 euros and if the motherboard is out of order, replacement is 300 euros.. ouchhh... So now the unit is on its way to the car dealer.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
