[slim] updated Controller - now frozen at "Free Your Music"

2008-11-15 Thread Revolver

I got home from a few days out of town and started my Controller.  It
said a software update was available, I accepted, it installed.  It is
now frozen on the "Free Your Music" screen.  It won't power down when I
try to turn it off.  I removed the battery and reinserted - same thing.
When I reinsert the battery it starts up bur freezes at the "Free Your
Music" screen.

I was using SqueezeCenter 7.2 at the time.  I uninstalled it including
removing preferences and logs.  I reinstalled it - same thing.  I tried
reinserting the battery while holding down vol+ as I read power on +
vol+ = reset. Same thing.

I uninstalled SC 7.2 and installed 7.2.1.  Same thing.

Can someone let me know how to reset my Controller or otherwise bring
it back to life?  This Controller update seems to have killed it
somehow.  Thanks.

Did you try a hard reset? (Hold the power button down for about 5-10
seconds)

Try taking out the battery and leaving it out for 10 mins or so as well
as an SD card you have in there.  Then try the factory reset (hold down
add whilst reinserting battery and keep add held down). Also, how
charged up is the Controller - someone had a similar issue recently and
found that doing the reboot whilst in the charger did the trick.

Update:  Fixed the problem for now.  It seems to be something to do with
using a custom startup sound. If I narrow it down further I will post
about it.  Thanks again for the help.
