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.

Thanks now that I think of it my wife plugged in my kids tablet to charge it then after he pulled on it it unplugged and seconds later that popped up

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
