DNS series head unit (new generation dual core RNS-510 alternative)

[MacinJosh]

I have tried starting it with the card in the slot. I can't get it to respond in any way, sadly. I'm pretty savvy with electronics, usually - but this time I had a momentary slip.
I can solder very well, and swapping a chip is no problem. I'm just distraught over my error. I've spent a fortune finally getting a decent head unit and working RVC flip emblem camera. I could have easily bought a factory RNS510 by now.
Is there anything else I can try to recover it?

I slid the SD card in the slot while it was still booting, not meaning for it to fully make contact. It made accidental contact and I got a black screen with red and blue colored text that said something about "Bad Blocks Encountered". I turned the unit off and back on, and that was the end. I have the white screen with multi colored vertical lines.

Drat.

Ah. Yea see the bad blocks thing is a normal thing. Mine has said that every time I do an BSP/MPU flash. It's just a stupid system whatever error, doesn't mean anything. You should have just let it do its thing, that would have saved it Oh wells! It should be recoverable though, will be a chip swap. Shoot Audiosources/Sandy an email. As suggested, maybe try starting it with the card in the slot already, see if that will do anything?

I gave that a try a number of times, but no deal.
Here is my screen:

Moda - good luck recovering your unit. Definitely an inconvenience. I've got a newer unit, but based on what you're dealing with I'm a bit reluctant to flash mine now. I'm away for work at the moment, so I've got some time to think about it. Having said all that, I'll probably give in to temptation and do it when get back in a few days. If I do it I'll let you all know how it goes.

Decided to flash my unit - I can back-up Dame2010's post and confirm that it worked with no issues.

I do have a couple of questions however...

My BSP version remained untouched at MS9.H.32.1018. Was this update meant to change it? I have seen a few screen-shots with a BSP version of MS9.H.32.1119. What is the BSP anyway?

I have just succesfully updated MPU and CAN for my DNS830 from Goobz's post.
But I have MCU version "DNS850.A.1106" after MCU chip replacment. Will it have newer versions? Now I have trouble with climate visualization

[Goobz]

Have you tried adjusting the settings for the air con display?

[Bassss]

It is shows information only then I click OFF buttion on Climatronic, but not if any other adjustment

hi, I recently got the DNS-810 radio and have been experiencing really bad sound problems. When I plug in my 3rd gen iPod through the 30pin connector, my sound starts to clip every time I press a button. After some time, the radio loses sound completey. I'm guessing it may be an electrical current problem...Has anybody experienced this before?

Hi everyone, Just purchased a DNS810 from Sandy. He has been very helpful so thanks Sandy!
What is the biggest MicroSD card that the unit will support?
Cheers,
Tony

It only supports SDHC cards so that's up to 32GB but there was someone a while back saying a 64GB card formatted to fat32 works too although I haven't tried it so can't confirm.

Haven't heard of that before, what software versions are you running? Sounds like there could even be a ground loop issue or something.

I have/had a 64GB MicroSDHC card formatted to FAT32 and it works perfectly. As long as it's FAT32 formatted you should be fine.

How do you get in touch with him? I've tried many times without luck.

I emailed him a couple of weeks ago and he replied within an hour. sales@zxaudio.com.au
