Re-booting magellan meridian

[+pamarler]

My magellan meridian "froze" up while trying to update firmware. I understand there is a key sequence that will re-boot the unit. Any help? Magellan tech support tells me the merridian is outdated for their tech support help. Thanks.

Below are the recovery instructions for a dead MAP330 or Meridian.

They are written for the MAP330 but they work just as well for the Meridians.

 

1. If your MAP330/Meridian is in a "locked up" state (stuck on), power it down

by holding down MARK/GOTO and the ESC keys and press ENTER. This will

power down the unit.

 

2. Power it up in "Software upload mode" by holding down MARK/GOTO

and the ESC keys and press POWER. Unit shold power up with a

"software upload mode active" message.

 

3. Run magup.exe, select NO at the dialog box. Click on "Expert" and

checkmark "On" for the "Expert Upload" setting (be sure MAP 330/Meridian is

selected as the "Unit Type" and click "OK"

 

4. Select the firmware file by clicking on "File" then "Select Code File".

The firmware file should have a name like ZORRO204.SRE or ZORRO204.HEX or MRDN3_08.HEX.

 

5. Click on "Upload" and click "OK". Checkmark "Program Code Only".

Check "Upload File".
