Gen3 - Software - Display Reset Loop On The EQSS Loading Screen
It has come to our attention that an issue can occur with the Gen3 display that can prevent it from booting successfully and causing a reset loop.
Reports indicate that this issue occurs randomly and may not occur at all.
We've raised this issue with our supplier and they have confirmed the issue is occurring due to a corruption of the filesystem on the Gen3 display.
Our supplier has provided a work around in the following patch.
This patch can be applied to any Gen3 display that is exhibiting this issue.

The following instructions describe how to apply the patch
