F40BT EU after software upgrade black screen

Hello,

 

i upgraded my F40BT eu version according the manual of pioneer.

The upgrade went so far ok. After the upgrade the Radio went off automatically but never came back.

When I turn on the power the radio stays dark. Nothing happened at all. The fuses are ok.

 

I already send the Radio to Pioneer service and repair. They said they need to replace a board because there is no software on the board anymore. This should cost 655€!!!!

 

I cannot believe that it is not possible to flash the board with a new software /boot loader.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks

Michael

Hi Michael

 

I had exactly the same thing happen to mine so I am guessing it isn't an isolated incidence

 

Give Pioneer UK a call on 0330 123 1240

 

If you sent it to AEL to be fixed - it was the same issue as their repair number RRR29653

 

 

Hope this helps
