IPV8 Stuck on firmware screen

[MAX505]

On my older IPV8, whenever I put new batteries, charge it, or anything else, all it says on the screen is YiHi SX330_iPV8 v8.1. I cant get anywhere past this screen and I really don't want to buy a new one. Please help.

Have you tried pulling the batteries out and holding down the fire button for a couple seconds?

Might have stuck buttons.

I have had 2 IPV mods and they both failed on me with not much use. I don't think I'll ever purchase another Pioneer4you device.

I have one that is a total workhorse it was my first 2 battery mod. I had it dual using and it took some abuse, LOL, but I'm glad I have it as my beater mod to test new builds on, I don't mind if it gets leaked all over, and neither does it, it seems. Mine is an IPV-5, and I'm sorry I don't have much else for you. I'm not sure I'd buy another IPV either (mainly, they are heavy, and ugly) but I have to say the one I have definitely has its place in my stable.

I hope you get it sorted out.

I took it apart and fixed the buttons because the fire button had been pushed further up into the mod, and the button still works.

Yeah, I read something about the iPV5 being stuck on the firmware screen, and he said pull both batteries out and wait 15 minutes, put one back in, hold down the fire button, and put the other one in and it did the same thing.
