testmode freezing when i start it up — AVIC411 Forum Archive

Hi,

I was trying to boot the Avic F700bt into windows CE using testmode. I got it to boot up fine into testmode, it copied some files, and the windows CE desktop appeared, but when i go to start/explorer, it freezes on me. The screen turns green, and I can not do anything. I have the latest software version 2.0 installed. I also searched in the forum and could not find any answers. Any suggestions?

hi,

i hit the x in the top right corner and it froze. the screen turned mostly green. i then rebooted and tried again, but went to start/control panel. once again, that box turned green and the unit froze. I did not see "align screen" in the start menu.

screen calibration is in the normal avic menu under settings ... do the calibration then use the sd card and boot into test mode

hi,

i did the screen calibration in the regular AVIC menu, then tried to reboot the system into Windows CE and it still froze on me whenever I tried to do anything. Any other suggestions? This seems very odd

Mine did that the very first time I tried to boot into Test Mode (way back in August). Ever since then it's been fine though and I haven't had any problems.

I'm not sure what to tell you other than to reformat your SD card and try again.

i tried that, no luck. i wonder why it freezes? Do you think Pioneer could help out? probably not

This happens to me every time, I was able to use the end of a pencil so i could hit the very top right corner, it might take a few times of hitting it but IT WILL WORK. just keep trying to hit it at the top right corner. even after you hit it the first time and the green box pops up in the center just keep trying to hit the top right x, after many tries it always works for me but just takes time.

Nice post Hennessy08STI!

After that calibrate the touchscreen while in CE.
