Hello to all fellow owners of the dreaded f700bt

Few weeks back I got this problem where after the pioneer logo the unit goes dark and that's it.

I browsed thru the topics and downloaded 2.06 copied the 2 files... etc.format ... I copied the myflashdisk and reset and still nothing.

Same problem.Goes dark after logo!!!!!!

What's next before I trow this thing in the garbage???

Thanks

What's your region? US? Europe? If it's Western Europe, this is your solution ( as far as i know it works also on the F700BT ) :http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/30773-f900bt-full-ew-backup/

Get your hands dirty !

I'm in US .

I can get to test mode, I can do the wince update , all work.

But when is time to restart , after the logo the unit goes blank.

I'm trying to locate the SDMLC file without any luck.

If anyone has this file please send a link or anything that will help me get it.

Thanks

I found a sdmlc file from a f900bt .

Is this file the same for the f700bt???

Thanks

You can try this, http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/22844-complete-30-install-guide/page__pid__227282__st__840&do=findComment&comment=227282 post #862. I believe it will work on the 700 as well. I had the exact problem and this fixed it.
