paul9895 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Does anyone know how to get into the d3's service menu? (If there is a menu of course) The reset/hold eject sequence works but after that I'm stuck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul9895 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Never mind I figured out how to get in to the service menu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Well, tell us how u got there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul9895 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 That would be good wouldn't it. My touch screen was non funtional so I had to use the remote controller 1. RESET and EJECT buttons simultaneously. 2. Release RESET button only. 3. When “password entry screen†is displayed, release EJECT button. 4. Enter the password: 8 1 8 3 7 2 0 8 5. When the password has been entered, press ENTER key on the remote. 6. After about 3 seconds the menu screen will appear. From there I could Recalibrate my screen...Phew!! Thanks to John P. for the help on the code!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve310 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 A couple (probably dumb) questions... press ENTER key on the remote. What if you don't have a remote? And what can you do from this service menu? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul9895 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I am not sure how you would do it without the remote, I'll check with JohnP. and see if he knows. Here is a list of the pages: 1. Version check 2. Error log 3. Format FLASH drive 4. Erase APL-file in FLASH 5. Clear backup memory 6. GPS backup data clear 7. GYRO SENSOR INFO data clear 8. Port status information Page 2 1.Change to display error [Message] 2. Start within debug shell[Disc & Card] 3. Program loading 4. GPS assessment[On] 5. File maintenance 6. Program forced write Page 3 1. SRAM / SDRAM test 3. RGB test 2. SENSOR test 4. MS5 check 5. Region code Don't ask me what they do... I have no idea! I was just trying to recalibrate my touchscreen. Use at your own risk...good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hulign Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I have been trying this and never get a password screen. All button pushes seem to do nothing(using a CDR55 remote). I have a 800.00 paperweight right now due to appropriate disc error any help would be great!! Thanks Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
revlimit Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I hope there is a menu that will help fix the please insert disc problem many of us are having. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Why don't you guys just get it repaired? It can't be out of warranty yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hulign Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 In my case I bought from an ebay seller and although the item is new I'm stuck with a paypal claim. Until that is cleared up and it's decided if I'm keeping it, I'm just reaching for straws. It seems like a software thing and with everyone able to roll back firmware I was just hoping for an easy fix. So hurry up paypal? I'm sick of looking at this paperweight.

xDrtyPopX Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Though the steps to get into my D3 service menu are only slightly different, I was able to access the 3 service menu screens outlined. Where I get lost is im not sure exactly what steps to take to downgrade to my old 70 series discs. Maybe I am missing a thread somewhere but any help would be appreciated... Thx!

xDrtyPopX Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Can anyone pls help? Under the file maitenance option I found the format options however when it asks me to confirm the format it says press Navi. However there is no Navi button on the unit or on the remote. I am truly stuck here but feel so close. Please help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrPhantum Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I can't even get into the menu. When I press RESET + EJECT, it shuts off, as expected. I release reset and keep holding EJECT, and it eventually just says "press the reset button" I can press the reset button as many times as I want, but as long as I'm still holding EJECT, it won't bring up a password. If I let go of EJECT, the unit resets... but I don't see a menu. Please help me! After a botched upgrade, my D3 restarts randomly and freezes. I'm not confident that I can go a whole trip without this happening, so my GPS is worthless. I need to get into the service menu and attempt to do the update again, or at least roll back my install to the last stable version. Can somebody please help me get into the service menu so that I can do this? PM me if you post here... I'll subscribe to the thread, but my notifications never work. Thanks!
