    My RNS is in 1100 firmware, and i can't update the firmware to the 5238 version because of the broken HDD. So I suppose I can't swap the HDD for a SSD in my RNS 510 in its current version...
    It is not specific to SSD.
    It's just the latest available firmware for your unit.

    It's a pata device connected via the pata interface, not hard wired to the board like a factory ssd system.

    Yes it reads Ok with the old HDD. But I will try another CD to be sure. I must start from the firmware 1100 ?

    Does that same firmware CD read Ok with your old HDD in the system?
    It might be a bad disk

    I have a broken HDD in my RNS 510 and I triyed to replace it by a new Kingspec SSD but when I plug my RNS in my car, it starts, but I can’t launch a firmware installation and I can’t eject the CD, it just spins. When I put back the old broken HDD, everything works again. I also triyed to wipe the SSD, but got same the result.

    Does somebody had the same issue and solved it ? I read that occurs to one member in this thread (page 9) but i didn't found the solution.
    Do you have a jumper on the SSD?

    hi i have the same thing to "Gasb"
    I have changed my hard drive by an SSD and the RNS 510 does not want to start.
    I always dismantle re-check all connections, Could not reboot, did he disconnect the battery before? What I did not do!
    I had it repaired and the gas m said that it was the video card that has dropped,
    the one that is behind the screen !! It gave me original, suddenly h hesitate to hand over the ssd

    Great instructions here.... very detailed and easy to follow

    I replaced my old broken HDD this morning and it was a very easy process with the instructions onscreen during the procedure.

    Firmware upgrade will gain you more than an ssd upgrade.
    If you want more space go for ssd upgrade or just use sdcards

    Is that still accurate for the SSD upgrade and is there any performance (more responsive) benefit to a firmware upgrade?

    I've got a RNS-510 C firmware 1140 and was considering the SSD upgrade, but I use Spotify so the gains seem negligible until the unit gets the HDD cold start issue or failure.

    Thanks for this great thread, so much info here!
