OK, my f900 was freezing this morning and was rebooting this afternoon. Testmode didn't work so I put ce back on. Then testmode worked so I copied 3.1 over to the flash. Now the unit goesrong as far as the splash screen then goes dark. Did I flash the wrong ce version?

 

**EDIT: Ok, I tried to get to the CE update option, but the unit powers up, then shuts down after about 10 seconds, regardless of what I do. Does this mean that the unit is hosed? Anyone? I'd like to either get this fixed or replaced.

 

**SECOND EDIT: If I hit reset, it will go back to the splash screen, but the screen will go off after a few seconds.

**THIRD EDIT: I pulled the unit out and tried starting it on my desk via a 12v PC power supply. Nothing. I tried jacking it back into the car and nothing happens there. Don't I just need 12v and ground to get this going?
