i have followed the instructions in the tutorials to the letter. after loading the factory bin and and then the lastest third party bin it went back to being stuck on reboot when i turned the toggle switch off and then back on to reboot. any suggestions would be appreciated. The only way to cut it off is with the toggle switch on the back or unplug it. the remote does not seem to affect it.

Thanks, this is a little different from the one i found in the tutorials. i have the captain cooling off now. i wil try this in 20 to 30 minutes. thanks for the quick response.

I cannot get this to work either, all i get now is dashes across panel. cannot get the captain 8000hd to do anything else. the only way to turn it off is the togle switch on the back. any ideas or is it dead.
