i have a pinwheel pro that doesn't power on,maybe i power cycled the unit too much,taking the power cord
off and putting back in too many times,there are lights that come on when i plug in the cord for the receiver
green and a red light and then nothing no lights,i tried putting the pinwheelhdfactory_fw.udf file but it only
goes to er 1 then nothing,i hope somebody can help me restore my unit or do i send it in for repair or maybe
i can fix it myself somehow,thanks in advance

kay i got another power supply and it came back on to just booting,i tried putting the pinwheelhdfactory_fw.udf on the unit
but all i'm getting is er on the front,how long does it take for the unit to erase and then write i have waited for about half
hour already and it still says er on the front,using pinwheel pro 2.9 renamed it to pinwheelhdfactory_fw.udf
