buttons stopped working

Post by m1dyp » Sun Jul 04, 2021 5:01 am

hi everyone, all of a sudden some of the buttons on my gd77 have stopped working, including the green button.

also UP, LEFT, RIGHT, 1 2 3 4 5 6 dont work

I tried to reinstall the firmware and the codeplug and now I have a screen 'settings update OK', but pressing green does nothing and my radio is now stuck on that screen.

Any ideas please
