Insignia NS-WBRDVD Bricked after update

I just bought this unit tonight after having purchased one last year and having a good experience.. Set up on the new unit  and it went fine and also  updated the firmware during the initial setup.

 

While checking out Pandora I hit the "menu" button and the unit locked up. Now I can only power up and  down and open the tray. All other functions are dead. It seems to be"bricked"

 

I called support and was told that I shouldn't/t update the firmware unless I am having issues."Return it to the store and get a new one" was the support response. WTF!

 

I pressed the support person about the update issue (The unit is telling me to update).

 

What if new features are available and I don't update out of fear that I will kill my unit? Not good!

 

She then hung up on me. She had my phone number so I can only assume since she didn't have an answer, she dumped the call. If that were not the case somebody would have called me back.

 

I'm returning it to the store tomorrow. I think I'll go with another brand vs. a straight  exchange, unless anyone can give me a reason not to buy another brand,

 

I'm very disappointed with this unit and the support of Insignia.

Re: Insignia NS-WBRDVD Bricked after update

Hello aervoid,

Welcome to Community@Insignia™!

I apologize for the extremely late reply.  Generally speaking, reinstalling the firmware update can resolve issues that result from a problematic installation.  It can be downloaded here.  

 

I'm grateful for the feedback that you provided about your experience calling Product Support.  I will pass it along for review and appropriate action.


Sincerely,
John
Insignia™ Support
