Black screen is sign of hardware problem. You can try to reflash internal memory chip with healthy image on programmator!

hi
i have exact problim but my device is drivesmart 50 lmt-d
i am new to gps hardware
you mean i have to remove the memory chip from the board and reprogram it with a programmer machine
could you please give me a link to the exact fw to use
thanks a lot

My guess is that the units were bricked with a wrong LDR.bin file, so I would probably need to flash the boot region. How do I figured what address it starts and ends? Would I need a working dump or I can manage with RGN tools and the correct GCD file?
