Problem with MKIII
 

Hello everybody. I'm writing from italy and i hope to find some replay :-D
I have a not working mk3 module which I would like to try to fix: the problem seems to depend on a wrong software update.
Its power led doesn't turn on and when I insert a cd with the V17.1 updater the drive engine runs a little but very slowly an it stops almost immediately.
Do you think it could be a software-related problem ( wrong update) or a hardware one (faulty drive engine)? Can the module software be updated in another way?
I hope you can help me.

A Mk3 will crash when loading software from a Mode1 CD.

Make sure your CD is Mode2/Form1 and try again.
Check disc format in Nero InfoTool or Imgburn

If that doesn't work, then your Mk3 must be faulty.

The CD with V17.1 is in mode2 but when I insert the engine drive don't start but runs a little but very slowly an it stops almost immediately.
Can i program the MK3 with I-Bus?
Is possible copy a pair of good eproms on the bad eproms?

Sorry for my english! :rolleyes:

OK, you may have a corrupted EEPROM. You can try copying contents from another Mk3 EEPROM, a friend of mine has done this and it worked. I have never had to try.

You cannot program over the ibus when the nav is not working.

Hi everybody,
I've fixed the faulty mk3 by changing the cd drive. This way i could upload firmware V17 ad after that V22.1.

I've another similiar mk3 with the following problem:

The cd engine works and the power led is on but the display remains blank. If I try a software update cd the disc goes on spinning but notthing else happens. Any suggestions? (the cd drive is working well so that's not where the problem is):confused:

I have a Mk3 with exactly the same faulty - I think it is dead/corrupted main board :-(

Is possible find a link for V15 or V16?

Where can i find the V15 or V16 Software for MKIII?
