when you enter a code and join me after a few seconds, the screen we black and not responding. if you happened to??

The code is: up up down menu left right - i did not find this, someone else did on these forums but it applied to the F90BT model.

It works on the BT700-Series 2.0 Firmware upgrade [Confirmed]

It lists menu options and has a tools option as well. My unit after about 10-15seconds from entering the code to my option selection goes all black including the buttons. This is as far as i have gotten and am wondering if anyone else can go further including keeping the screen from dimming?

It seems to me though that it isn't as.... uhm... good as we hoped it would be?

here's 'the list' of chapter 6 of the service manual:

Test mode menu

1 Audio Playback of audio

2 AV Test Not for service

3 TEL Test Not for service

4 GPS CHK GPS receiver test

5 GYRO Gyro test

6 Flash ROM Flash ROM read/write test

20 EQ Flat/Vo Not for service

21 RGB Illumin Not for service

22 BT Test Not for service

23 Screen Not for service

24 BAK CTL Adjustment of the LCD backlight

Edit:

I purchased the service manual.

I'll keep you posted.

Nothing is described in the manual of the mentiod service menu in this topic.

HOWEVER!

The manual mentions two service methods we (as far as I can see) did not know about;

1. uBOOT

2. Test CD.

with uBOOT onoe is able to test AND set BT, GPS and update the windows version (!)

Also it states "5. other tools"

The manual doesn't specify what is in option 5.

When I read on, I come across the test CD thing.

It here states a 'good' result and a 'Not Good' result.

The example used here for not good, is a model UC tried to be implemented as EW.

Also when I look at the lay outs of the PCBs, every PCB is addressed as both EW5 and UC models. Making UC and EW models identical ???

now.. where can we get hold of this uBOOT thing?

Does it then display this screen?

edit:

Just found the link to the service manual already mirrored somwhere here (hehehe... waste of money, but OK)

Nothing special in the uboot either?

PaQ that is exactly what I see however after about 10seconds my screen goes black so I have about 3seconds to enter the code and 7seconds to look through it I'm afraid to make a selection to perform any task because the screen goes black however the unit still runs until I push reset. Any ideas ? If I can stay in that menu for atleast a min I could explore our options more

Any chance that this is porting the video to a different output (such as the rear display)?

I hooked up a 5" LCD screen and connected the power to the battery, the screen came on, however i did not get video to it from the unit.

In order for the service menu to remain displayed longer than 10seconds, you will have to force your unit to do a hard reboot. This may/ may not damage your unit. My unit right now has shit the bricks and I no longer even see a splash screen. I went ahead and did the following:

(Press and Hold the reset button + eject + Menu + Map)

Next release the reset button, your speakers will make a pop noise.

Let go of eject after you hear the pop and then release the menu and map. Enter the code above and you will have unlimited and untimed access into the service menu to explore.

Men, YOU ARE GREAT, it is real savin life & joy to many users that upgraded to new wince version. Really great thanks for information You delivered here.

This sounds great! Has anyone verified this without bricking their unit?

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the dvd region code and the FM tuner settings through the service menu?

You are the man xJ2Mx

This sounds great! Has anyone verified this without bricking their unit?

I followed the instructions provided and was able to enter the blue screen menu. Unit still works

Great! So that's another verification.

my_black_RS5, what are the settings that become available in the service menu? Does it give options for the dvd region and/or FM tuner?

DO NOT PLAY AROUND IN SERVICE MODE!!!! this is how people brick there system. I would suggest unless you know exactly what you are doing only go to wince update option. There are other settigns that totally wipe your unit clean and is very hard to bring it back to life.

Great! So that's another verification.

I don't recall exactly what other options there were but I used it to format the flash disk which allowed me to boot into test mode and upload firmware for the X910BT that I modded. Unfortunately the X710BT hardware doesn't support DVD playback so I don't know if there is a way to change the region code. I don't recall seeing anything about the FM tuner but I could be mistaken.

help! i accidently hit formatmbr under this menu and now my system starts up but i get a blank screen! after about 10 seconds the lights in the buttons go off, but i can still hear the system running...what do i do?!
