I'm starting a new post here because this problem seems to come up time and time again on different boards, but nobody has a solution for it.
This is the problem where the GPS computer keeps rebooting. It may work for a few seconds/minutes and then suddenly it'll go blank, and you'll get the logo again, it may just about get to the menu and it'll cycle again. Or, it may recycle so fast that you just get a blank flickering screen.
What differentiates this problem from other blank screen/boot problems is that if you hold down the eject button on the DVD drive, the system will boot and work normally.
You may also experience the system working perfectly some days. I've noticed this seems to be temperature related. Winter and cold days are signficantly worse. I've taken the drive unit into the house overnight before on winter days and when slotted back in first thing in the morning it's worked right off when it wasn't working the day before.
I'm hoping that all users with this problem can share their experiences here and see if we can try and find a permanent solution that doesn't involve blue-tac or sticky tape on the eject button as you drive around
Anyone....?
