G5 stopped working...

[Forts]

Hi all... I've got a weird issue on my hands. Out of the blue today my G5 has just totally gone into la-la land it seems. Worked fine yesterday, I turned it off when I went to bed. Turn it on today.... it powers up, looks like all is normal but it's not receiving anything, I'm not getting any voice channel announcements and it shows off duty. If I go into the menu and set it to On Duty it claims it did it... but doesn't. If I switch to another zone it claims that it did... but didn't. I've tried loading a different codeplug, then reloading mine... no dice. Is there a way to factory reset these things? Or anyone have any other ideas?

Pull the battery out of it for a minute and then try again

I pulled it for about 10 seconds and that made no difference. I'll try leaving it out longer.

Forts sounds like a CPU error looks like a trip back to the factory.

 

[Forts]

Oh fantastic. I've only had this thing about a month for crying out loud.

Forts this is the only G5 I have ever heard stop working.

If it can be seen by the PPS try reloading your codeplug file to see if that might fix it. Another idea is to load up the original code plug that was on the radio before you changed it with your local information. Hopefully you saved a copy of the very original native codeplug.

I've reloaded my codeplug and a complete different one. No dice. And no, I don't have the factory original one sadly.

Well whatever it is, it's gotten worse now. I can still read/write the pager but now it's completely unresponsive once it's powered up. Can't change channels, enter menus, adjust volume etc etc. I'll reach out to Unication tech support I guess and see if they have any suggestions.

 

[RBMTS]

Bummer. Sorry for your troubles. I’ve read that Unication and the dealers are very responsive.

Sorry this happened to you Forts, don't get discouraged it really is a good reliable radio. The good news is Unication will likely replace it with new one because it's so new.

Forts, I'm curious, about how old is it? One of the first releases or a newerish production unit?
