JVL Echo

Have a JVL Echo and it boots to "sysem upgrade" message and does not go any further. Would anyone know what is wrong with the machine?
I am hoping maybe the software is corupt

a screenshot of what it actually displays would be most helpful.

you can try and do a factory reload/rest by holding down the service button while you power it on and wait for the option screen to come on. (1 to 3 mins)

it may work, it may not. could bork the whole thing if it's corrupted enough, requiring a fresh reload with factory cd or drive image.

I don't think he's coming back but the solution was to reinstall the software

I don't think he's coming back

it happens.

the number of times i've posted a question somewhere....and forgotten where it was so i could check back later is.... a lot... only to randomly stumble across it searching for a place to ask again months or years down the road after id decided to tackle the project again.

update I was able to get it to boot. When i picked up the machine from the seller and I got it home it actually went to a different error message every time. It would stop on ALSA for ALSA.
That I feel is related to a sound driver but others tell me it is a known motherboard issue on boot. If I reboot it will work maybe 1 out of 3 boots. Once it boots past that part it fine to play. Someone said to check comos battery and set date and time. The cmos battery was completely dead. After replacing battery and setting proper date/time it has booted up every singel time!!!
