    Default Pinwheel Mini stuck in boot mode

    My Pinwheel is stuck in boot mode. I tried loading factory file, following the procedures recommended for getting it out of boot mode.

    It goes through the erasing process, however at the end it gets stuck on error "Er 3".

    I tried renaming another file to the factory file (2.0 file), with this file it gets stuck on error "Er 1". Can anybody help me with this. I tried using two different USB's same result.

    Thanks for your help Benney.

    I did look at that thread previously, and have tried everything there. But still get these errors.

    Thanks.

    I don't have one to test so I can't help much.
    I'm sure someone will be along soon with some ideas.

I didn't want you to think I was spending the money on myself. That's why I posted a reply explaining where the SatFix Bux went.

Here's a little token of my gratitude for your generous donation. Please accept it in the spirit that its meant...
