Hi guys, I'm hoping someone here's had a similar problem and can help me out. After installing my f-90bt and a successful test boot, a couple of hours later, my avic booted up and stopped displaying any words .

The icons are there, but any warning boxes that popped up are empty. The settings button, everything in there, and the phone button are all empty. I can't even maneuver through to fiddle with settings b/c I have no clue what I'm changing. Any ideas?!?

Thanks!

What the hell did you do in test mode? Things like that do not just 'happen'. There's no need to fiddle with settings, as no setting in the unit will turn off the text. Go back in test mode and undo any changes you made.

WTF did you change? Would probably help diagnose your problem to know what you were trying to do when you made that happen

better hope you backed your data.zip up before modding

That makes for a hell of a security feature! Just memorize what all the buttons said!

This dies not look like anything that could be affected by DATA.ZIP

i meant "my flash disk" assuming it was a mod that lead to this issue

Crap. From the responses, it looks like I found a totally new problem. I didn't do any modding and wasn't ever in test mode. I hooked everything up, booted it to see if it worked properly (it did), then closed my dashboard back up, and on the next boot up, it ended up like that.

Initial thought was that some file somehow got corrupt (all the functions work, I just can't read anything) so I'm going to try a reinstall of the 2.0 update. I read some other post that a fresh install could help clear up some odd problems. I'll keep you guys posted.

Thanks for the inputs though.

Update might work. Since you are missing all text, even form the AVIC shell, some RES files probably got messed up. If they are in the update, it should help.

wow thats crazy, sorry to hear about your misfortune especially since you didn't bring it down on yourself

I would do as Boris suggests, try reinstalling the update, if that doesn't work, you'll be mailin the unit to Pioneer for some repair time

Thanks for all your help guys. There's definitely enough info on these forums to help me work my way around all these landmines. I did a fresh update described in another thread, and voila! I can see text!!!

Still not entirely sure what happened, but it looks like all is good for now.

I'm having the same exact issue. I've never even boooted into test mode or messed it at all. So a reinstall of the update fixes it?
