So after a year the unit started rebooting every few minutes, so i decided to reinstall 2.0 again... I was in the middle of the Reboot Fix viewtopic.php?t=25424&f=33 .... and after i formated the flash drive, WinCE froze (screen went green) and there was nothing i could do. I rebooted, and I cant even get into testmode anymore. it just turns off after like 20 seconds. the lights on the buttons (menu map etc) turn off and the unit just shuts down.

 

what are my options here? i searched the board for a lilttle and couldn't find much, sry if i missed it. thanks for any input.

so for some reason after i shut the car down for 10 minutes and i get back in and mess w/ the unit it stays on. so i installed a firmware update from pioneer, and it seems to not reset anymore. right now i'm 20 mins in to copying 2.0 files onto the flash drive. hopefully it doesnt shut down while i'm postin here, lol

ahah.... so i basically drained the cars battery, which explains the shutting down. 2.0 installed, jumping the car right now. should be good to go... thx for reading.
