Masso172 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hello everybody, The unthinkable just happened to me. I was working on my car and had to unplug the battery for a little while. I finished then put the battery back. Everything worked fine for a few days until one night the radio screen did not come on at all. Heres whats going on: 1.- Turn car on. 2.- Radio fan and buttons light up. 3.- Screen stays off, no backlight, completely off. 4.- Buttons turn off after a short period of time. 5.- Radio shuts off entirely, and no music or anything ever played or displayed. I have uploaded a video of my radio doing its thing that way it can speak more words than I can ever type. Please help me out anyone, I have an 8 hour trip coming up and not having navigation and music will just make the trip that much more painful, not to mention I am so bummed out because this radio was so expensive...

anttid Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Man that sucks. Do this to see if we can get to the windows update screen. Hold down the menu, eject, and map button, while holding them all down press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds and then release only the reset button. After a few seconds you should see a windows blue screen. If you see that then contact me for a fix, If not then you need a screen repair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Masso172 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Wow indeed the screen came to life ! I can now go into the service menu but thats all i can do for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Masso172 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 UPDATE: I tried reformatting and installing windows from the service menu, I have both files copied to the root of the sd card, I pick the install from sd/mmc (format) option and it reads until 100% and nothing else happens, it freezes. I have tried some files that have worked for me in the past but still I cant get past the Reading:100% screen. What do I do from here? I know theres people out there that have had this same problem, How do I fix this? Thank you... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
