So I have a 2017 silverado LT and last week out of nowhere the screen went black and the "waiting for media update" came on. It's been like that till now it pops up and then after a while goes back to black screen. The Camara does work when in reverse with no "service" type sign I can control the radiowith steeringwheel.. I tried the hmi cable under the glove compartment and no luck . I disconnected the battery but it won't reset.. everything is the same . ANYONE KNOW ANOTHER WAY TO RESET THE COMPUTER??? HELP !

Welcome to the site.

 

I would take it to a dealer, do not think you are going to fix this one yourself. 

They have the capability to do the updates.

 

Not sure if you would be able to connect to your homes Wi Fi at this point if it is an over the air update.

Thanks .. but I called and walked them through it and showed them a video of what's going on . They said it could have been triggered by charging something that had files in it and needs a rest .. it would cost 190 to look at it and 200+ to fix

Unplug the negative cable for a few hours then try again.

 

 

Edit. One more thing, is your truck connected to your hotspot by chance? If so, turn on your hotspot and let the update finish.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
