Good Morning to everyone,
Yesterday, after reading different posts about the 7.10 upgrade and also having upgraded successfully in the past an RT3 on my previous 307, I decided to try the upgrade on my 308 RT4 which was running on 7.02 since i received it in early January this year.
So I did burn both CDs images contained in the downloaded file, the firmware and the software. Then i first loaded in my RT4 the firmware CD which was read and it was checked then nothing happened for few seconds, then it was ejected, went back in twice...etc....
When this was done, I inserted the software CD 7.10 and the update started without any problems. It did a first part where I remeber at the bottom of the screen CRC was written. Then it copied files (1 of 2 and then 2 of 2) then it said something about boot something, then the screen went black, CD was ejected and the RT4 went into what looked like a restart. But it never restarted.
Instead:
- I would see the Peugeot splash screen, then nothing else and the red light above the SOS button would turn on and then off.
- The 7.10 software CD is stuck in the RT4; using the eject button does not get it
out.
- After a while i turned off the engine and tried to eject the CD, no success
- in fact, it looks like the RT4 tries to start and it fails, so each time, it turns off and tries again. if you look at it for few minutes, you get the feeling that there is a certain sequence wit hthe orange light above the SOS button turning on and I can hear a brief noise like if the CD was rotating or may be it is the HD.
I have read many posts on the forum and ran into different things where people suggested a reset using the DARK button. I have tried this last night for 10 seconds but in this elapsed time, my RT4 probably turn off twice as a minimum, I do not know if it has any effect. For the RT3, reset was possible disconnecting the battery first. It is different on RT4 ? Is it just pressing the DARK button 10 seconds ? With or without the engine running ?
Does anyone have some idea on how I could get out of this situation without having to go to my Peigeot dealer ? Any manual way to eject the CD while power is off ? Your suggestions would be more than welcome.
Thanks a lot
