A little upset right now because this issue is going to cause a cancellation of a weekend trip. I simply attempted to do the software update and should have ignored it. I followed the instructions to a T.
When I inserted the SD card with the files on it, I turned the machine on and a black screen with white FURUNO came on and said "system is updating...". After approx 4 minutes, that changed to "system updated successed..."(that is not a spelling error). Then, that sentence disappeared and the black screen with white FURUNO stayed indefinitely. I left it on as long as 15 minutes and it never changed.
Apparently, the system is now corrupt because the machine will not boot up. It turns on but will not move off of the black screen with the white FURUNO. I called Furuno and their only suggestion was to call a dealer which is great because there are no dealers within 100 miles that will work with a recreational boater.
Now what?
