Rio Car Locks up while playing music - 24/07/2005 00:44

I just got my Rio Car installed in my car and playing music. About every 3rd or 4th song, it will just stop playing, and no matter how long I wait, it never recovers. The buttons will bring up a menu, but when I try to execute any option, I get an hourglass and it never goes away.

I try pulling the unit out of the dash carrier, waiting a minute, and then putting it back in. Sometimes I get a "can't find hard disk" error, and sometimes it boots up and starts playing exactly where it locked up again.

Any ideas about what I can do?

My Rio Car firmware version is car2-consumer-v2.00.upgrade

Thanks.

Sounds like hard drive troubles. Best thing to do is to hook it up in the home/office and capture a serial log from boot time through to failure, and then post that here.

Then the reason for the freezing up, as Mark said, is definitely without question one of these problems.
