    Exclamation How to FIX your Units if no video or stuck on boot or continuous rebooting

    Someone make this stick please!

    C/P

    Process to restore your unit - fix issues of no video or continuous reboots or stuck on boot etc! If you have no video coming due to PAL issues there is an easy fix!

    Download any working file like 2.4, 2.3, 2.2 etc (22.33 MB)

    extract the zip file and rename the udf file to

    pinwheelhdfactory_fw.udf

    (note: if you are displaying file extension in Windows, the file will be pinwheelhdfactory_fw.udf and if you are not displaying file extensions in Windows then file will be pinwheelhdfactory_fw)

    Take 1 blank USB drive - this drive should have nothing on it, except only one file

    Put the file on the root folder of the USB drive

    so the USB drive will only have pinwheelhdfactory_fw.udf file

    Now unplug the unit from power

    Insert the USB drive into any USB port

    Hold the Front Power Down and keep holding it

    Plug in power to your unit

    You will see UPGRD on the front display, release the front power button

    This will start the process of restoring the unit

    As usual will take long to erase and write

    After completing it will display FINSH on the front display

    Remove USB Stick and reboot the unit and it should boot into the file without any issues

    I may make a suggestion when changing (renaming file ) i first tried several times by going to properties and changing it there but you actually need to right click it and select rename or it wont work and get ER-1 msg when trying to load it . I managed to go back to 2.4 tonight using this method .

    My Pinwheelhd_mini is stuck on boot. I renamed the udf file 2.4 as pinwheelhdfactory_fw.udf and loaded on a blank usb and followed the procedure. The receiver is trying upgrade but I am getting error "ErA5" Is there anyone who can help? I will highly appreciate.

    my brother had the same problem he had sound on ch.300 but no picture so he bought his pinwheel hd mini to me to see if i could do anything to fix it for him,so before i made any changes to his box i found that all it did was it somehow erased ps settings
    so i input all his private info in then put it ch.200 and it came on but couldn't change channel so he told me to press the ok or enter button on the remote and everything went back to normal,hope this helps
