Anyone get a frozen box with the error message A-0 on the front display? thanks

[swanner]

I did once.....
I put a factory bin on a usb drive, inserted it, turned the power on from the rear switch, then it came back....
I went into the menu system and slowly added all files back.

Now mind you, my box was powered off for about 2 hours before doing this.. so I really don't know if it was the usb drive that unfrozed it, or if it was just simply the fact that my box wass off and cool for awhile..

good luck..

Ok thanks. I will give her a try and bring it back from the dead!

[gonz97]

It didnt work. I have 01209_ A-O message on the front. remote doesnt power her up null cable no go either. Guess its dead. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

[swanner]

Don't give up yet...
I don't know about others, but I'm looking for a solution for ya....

I have nothing yet, but i'm not giving up....

think you install a usb with just a factory file on it turn it on from the back of the switch while pressing the power button then it should load
if that doesn't work pull out null cable get the ilink 9500 loader program try and install factory file that way

[gonz97]

Tried mark64's suggestion with no luck either. She doesnt respond with the null cable, remote, or anything else. thanks anyways

[gonz97]

Oh ya and thanks to swanner for not giving up hope. I am counting on you! LOl

I've revived a bunch of them by simply reloading the latest bin with the serial port. You can't revive one with USB if you don't get the menus.

yo bro, i still have not given up yet...

have you tried the old... Hold down the front power switch steady and the flip the rear power switch on and off at least 5-6 times in a row to burst out and drain the main board....
worth a shot..... I'm still looking for ya... have not found this situation yet, but I'm still looking....

Don't give up bro... it's obviously software related.. cause if it was not, you would not have a screen at all, right... we will get it... just a matter of reading..

but try to do the hard and soft reboots.... over and over again... maybe the main processor has to be tricked in someway to reset.....
as for now, that is all I can offer...sorry...:comfort1:

[gonz97]

Thanks swanner. I will try later tonite. I have had it lying around for a while so thought to try and bring her back. Thank goodness I have my t5 as a backup!lol
