While doing a software update, my 997 froze… Now all it says is “loading” when I turn it on. Can’t turn it off without unplugging it.
I’ve read about “bootstrapping” these units on other sites – reloading the software directly from the PC – if you have the right cables… Which I plan to try shortly…
Anyone ever have to do this? Did it work? Any suggestions? Worth a shot before sending back to HB for a reboot….
Froze right before my trip to LM last weekend… Oh well, still caught fish…
Hi,
below is a link detailing how to “boostrap” your box.

PS. Bootstrap will only work on legacy boxes (boxes that run on the Matrix operating system) and not on the newer Linux operating system boxes.
Good luck,
Roger
Yup, that was the forum I was looking at for instructions… Just waiting on my cables to arrive from Amazon… Mine is a 997, which I believe is considered a “legacy” unit… Its a number of years old now…
Hopefully will fix my issues…
BTW, is there a way to tell if your unit is the legacy or the newer unit just by looking at it? (Assuming it doesn’t boot up)… Or is it just based on model/year…??
