I forgot to mentioned that the dvd still stuck inside the unit and i have tried everything but couldn't get it out.

Doesn't sound too good.
You'd have to take the DVD drive out and remove the disk, put in the recovery CD and then try to resurrect it.

Did you put it in upside down Sounds like it

Thanks for all the replies guys.
I will try to use the recovery CD and see if it makes any difference. "finger crossed"

Hi Hillbilly,
I put the disc in correctly. Somehow during the process, i think the process just stopped. I pressed eject disc and i think also Setup+Eject+*, then this happen. I now don't know what to do. Will try to manually remove the disc and try the recovery CD.

Turn the unit off and wait for a few minutes and turn it on again might clear it

You will stuff it if you try and force it out as the carriage will be jammed and you cant just pull a disc out as it sits over a centre spindle which is held up under the disc to spin it.. You could try reset by holding in the two left buttons and the right hand one across the top all at once

I know the 3 button-combo along the top of the HU is used to reset the device during normal operation, but I recall you need a different combo of buttons for when you're in the firmware upgrade mode, and I'm sure one of those buttons in the SETUP key.

Try <SETUP>+<EJECT>+<MIC> to enter downgrade mode....

I have tried all combo, SETUP+EJECT+*, <+>+* but the unit still stay in the white screen.
I have also tried disconnect the power to the unit and connect again after 60min but it still the same white screen.
If i should not tried to force the CD out, i just don't know what other way I can eject the CD and put the recovery CD in.

RNS 510 will not start

Was just trying to reset it to help him get the stuck DVD out Not anything else where is the Mic key

Some unites have a mic button top-right, others have a star, and there may even be another variant.
