You have a mk3 mate, not a mk4.

I then burned a CDR at 1x using CloneCD. Put it in the nav, gave me the usual screen with red text "CD-ROM in drive, installing sw." Then screen went black and flickered every few seconds. Gave it a good 10 minutes and never changed. All functions still work. I can listen to music now and buttons work but screen will not show, still just flickers. In addition I could not eject the disc. I tried the harness pull trick and the 3 minute hold. Had to take apart and move the gear myself. Screen still blank. I tried burning again with imgburn on stock settings which now looks like I should have changed the mode or something. But that did not do anything but did eject at least.

Can someone please help with a fix?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff
You have corrupted your nav computer with a mode 1 disc mate.

You need to put a mode2/form1 disc, with luck you can resurect your mk3 buy putting an OEM mode2 image through it.
