lutherdon Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I found the posts about the new hard drives. I was looking at prob/trouble for an answer not hacks/mods. But, from what I read they have found some hard drives that are working(mk8032GAX). I'll keep reading to see if some thing differant comes up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
outhouse Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 the GAX will not help with freezing/overheating it will only be worse as it has a lower temp threshold. well i gave you the answer pioneer dropped the ball with laptop style HD,s that dont handle the heat being stuck inside a small case with little to no ventilation. we are on are own with this. because it was designed wrong. theres a so called patch coming out that may help but again if you hold the HD in your hand when the unit doesnt boot and feel the heat you will understand the flaws of this unit. if they would have built this with a remote HD lower in the dash it would have solved almost all of the problems were having as the top of your dash on a 90-100 degree day is just plain too hot for these units as built Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sirshopolot Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Installer sent mine in and Pioneer sent a new one. So far no more freezes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
