4 Types of Bricking

There are generally 4 ways to brick the HU

1 & 2 can be recovered by display driver recovery method. #3 require full flash of firmware into flash memory. #4 require disassemble hardware and find the test points.

Tools

HU USB Port

On the 5670B, only the 6pin USB port works to connect to PC for recovery. Some older thread for older HUs says 4pin USB but not true for this HU

Don't worry if you've plugged into the 4pin USB port during recovery. It won't connect.

UI Issues After Computer Firmware Flashing

Computer Firmware Flashing with formatting all of flash memory is like re-manufacturing the HU. Some UI issues occur require calibration/adjustment which was probably done at the factory

These issues seems to vary from all the different versions of this HU. Some have more and some less.
