Pod XT blank screen

[Lewis207]

Hello - I’m hoping someone can answer my question. I recently bought a pod XT on eBay - it worked for 2 days and since then shows a blank screen when turned on. I gather that the best thing to do is “reflash” but after downloading drivers and updating firmware, I’m unable to update flash memory. Is there a fix for this or should I return the pod?

Hi will have to open the processor .there are 4 screws at the back. inside there is a flesh in the panel it must be removed carefully wiped with alcohol or cleaned with a rubber band from a pencil so that the contacts glisten and insert it back should work . this happens in XT and XT live from oxidation .

Great thank you! The first suggestion did not change the status but I will attempt steps the clean the interior part

Will this work for a Pod HD? My screen is all black pixels - but if i hold it at different angles I can kind of see the correct screen under those black pixels....If so, can this be explained a little more clearly, i dont understand. What exactly is "a flesh in the panel" and where exactly is that?  What is a rubber band pencil?  Im not sure if these are electronic terms or typos.... thank you
