In our 'throw away society' and high labor costs I sadly ask "does anyone repair these things anymore?" [emoji15]

Fair point.

I wasn't trying to be smart, it's just seems too be that way with TVs for e.g. with a lot of brands stating that any failure during the warranty period is replaced with a brand spanker as parts are not made available.

I feel long term this can only result in less techies being trained in the art of 'black magic' to diagnose and fix these units as there becomes less and less call for such tradesmen.

But, I'm sure there's still a few 'die hards' defying the odds out there and carrying on the tradition. Well, I hope so.

I agree with you. It seems to be easier to just buy new one instead of actually try to work out what the issue is.
The prob is these units are not cheap.

If you can live without the NAVI on RNS510, you can replace it with Chinese market RCD330+ unit, which comes with Bluetooth, Apple Play etc. Very cost effective!

What is the problem with it?
It might be repairable.

It might be repairable.

The unit starts up and then switches off and then continues to start up and switching off every few minutes.
So it has power but doesnt actually work.
First-time any issues with the unit at all since new.
What i wanted was someone that can see if the unit is repairable and whether it is the init?

Any recommendations?

The problem doesn't sound too great so I'd definitely be getting it looked at.

Yes, they certainly aren't cheap as I purchased one new a couple of years ago and unfortunately with these units don't have built in BT, so even more dollars for the module and wiring loom.

Hey mate, possibly see if you can get it fixed if not and you're looking for a replacement then PM me, as I have a one sitting around which is a newer LED SSD unit. Part number 1T0035680T

I'll probably be listing it for sale next week at some stage

What about a hard restart. Maybe disconnect the battery for 15 minutes (hope does not mess anything else up). Let the power drain and reconnect then. While the battery is disconnected, press the power button to make sure all power is drained from the unit. Could be a software issue.

Good thinken. [emoji106]

After disconnecting the battery then touch the two terminals together to discharge any residual power.
