Just to let you know, I burnt a copy of v22.1 disk (available from
http://www.e38.org/nav). On the mk3 this is the jighest software version you can go to.
Anyway, I needed to revive the unit so burnt a straight copy, no changed logos. I removed the disk initially using the cog spin method. Burnt onto TDK disk at 4 speed (the lowet my burner would allow) and voila, the unit is back up alive!!! I used ClonCD (the image was CloneCd, PM me is you want a working copy).
Next, I'm going to do a v23 with changed splash screen.
Give it a go with v22.1, many failed attempts seem to have have been fixed with this.
Have a great new years.
Kam.
