maybe a long shot on a DVR forum but maybe the issue I'm having might be similar
I have a no name Chinese 7” head unit, well its got a name on the front not sure it it means anything, Erisin ES842D
I’ve had it for a number of years now with no issues, well apart from the occasional freeze of the GPS sat nav, but a switch off and on get’s it going again
as my car had been put away for the winter, the batter has been on a trickle charge to keep it healthy and its been doing fine, then last week a combination of two things (somehow sidelights were on and the charger wasn’t connected properly) the battery went flat, and following this the battery wouldn’t hold its charge, so replaced the battery, and her is my issue
the head unit works just fine with the exception of being able to read my SD card with my mp3 music on it,
the head unit works just fine reading the GPS navigation app off the other SD card, plays the radio both FM/AM, shows the reversion camera, shows DVB-T TV just fine, Bluetooth connects with my mobile phone and can also stream music to the head unit by bluetooth, I can connect my iPad to the unit and it will play music of the iPad
The only thing it will not do is read my SD card, when I select it to play from the SD card the screen goes grey, if I take out the SD card then when I select play from the SD card the unit informs me to insert a SD card as one is not inserted, and also if I connect a USB stick with MP3’s or films on it the screen goes grey
so everything on it works with the exception of playing whats on the SD card, I’ve reformatted two cards and tried them and same thing, the only think I haven’t done yet is go out and buy a new card and try that, I remember two years back the unit wouldn’t read the GPS navigation software as a last resort I bought a new card and it worked just fine, could this be the same issue now?
any help would be most welcome
