Hi everybody. I have a problem with my iLiad (v2.12). He was in never ending reboot loop. After reading about the reflash method from Adam B., I inserted a compact flash card in the unit, with the "format" instruction.
At the end of the flashing process, I mistakely move the "blocker" of the cf card. I suppose that this prevented the unit to complete the process, since the device froze. After trying a restart, the boot process didn't initialized (the progress bar doesn't fill up).
The reboot method using Connect & Power button togethers works, and the Reset button too. Each time the device try to start, the led becomes green, and nothings happens, I need to reset the device with the Reset button.
I have the .log file of the format on my CF card if needed.

Does anybody does if there's anything possible apart sending it back to iRex ?
If so, do you know how much it will cost ?

Thanks
