Dudu7 head unit reboots by itself

same issue on dudu 3.5
my headunit is rebooting after 1hour

Vielleicht sollten wir mal ein älteres und ein neueres Gerät miteinander vergleichen?
Vielleicht werden schlechtere Teile verbaut weil die guten nicht vorrätig sind...
Es kann doch nicht sein, dass plötzlich immer mehr ein Problem damit haben. Und man kann dann auch nicht immer sagen, dass der USB Stick schuld ist.

Did you have simcard insert?
Is the 4G always ON?

My with temperature 40+ still will reboot intermittent.

Mongcharlie No, I have had a few more reboots over the last couple of weeks. It seems to be mainly when there is CPU intensive apps running. I have it connected via BT to a OBD2 adapter with Car Scanner app running. I also run offroad maps (Newtracs). It may have something to do with heat. I have felt the frame around the edges of the screen when it happens and it feels very hot to touch (not just from sun). The fan is not running all the time though, just on and off now and then.

Let me know how you go with a replacement unit and if it resolves the reboots after replacement.

I ordered mine Nov 30 and received in Dec.

This makes me wonder how the thermal transfer material is applied, if any, to the SOC and heatsink. Is it a pad, adhesive or is it a paste being used and how much.

I never had this with the DUDU7 from March 24.
The new one with the loud fan rebooted several times.
Today i used a harness without canbus-box.
I will see if this helps

I had afew reboot also.
I suspect is CANBUS compatibility.
Also PIP function.
I normally use poweramp + Google map with simcard insert.
After I change from poweramp apps to UAPP without PIP function, so far no reboot for a week..
Still monitoring .
Before for that almost 2-3 days reboot 1 time.

Hi. I'm having the same problem. I bought my unit about 8 months ago. After 15 days of use, it started having reboot issues until it stopped working. I removed it from the vehicle and didn't use it for several months. A month ago, I plugged it outside the car into a power source and it turned on. But it kept rebooting. I accidentally installed AIDA64 and noticed the high temperatures. I replaced the thermal pad with a 0.8 mm thick aluminum plate and thermal paste. I managed to get the unit to work stably with idle temperatures below 40 degrees and maximum temperatures of 50 degrees. But after 7 days, it started rebooting again. I don't know what to do. They are defective Unisoc 7870 units. I already complained to the seller, but they are no longer under warranty.

Since I was already giving up on the issue, I decided to test the unit without any interface on the processor. The unit booted normally, reaching 100°C without rebooting or shutting down. So I decided to test again with a replacement thermal pad that usually comes with M2 drive heatsinks. And surprise, I once again got stable temperatures of 50°C without rebooting, and maximum temperatures of 72°C with a CPU stress test. Very strange, because I had already tried using these thermal pads without good results.

IamDefiler Hi. No Friend. When the unit fails, the CPU temperature readings are high. When it's working properly, the temperature readings are much lower. The problem is the CPU.

Arielnac Only reason I asked was because of what you stated above. "The unit booted normally, reaching 100°C without rebooting or shutting down."

Mongcharlie I also have SIM card inserted and data always on. My unit is continuing to reboot randomly (approx once a day when in use for several hours). It is frustrating when using it for navigation on unfamiliar busy city roads. I am now thinking the only solution may be warranty claim with seller.

IamDefiler Yes. But that was just a test condition, without subjecting the processor to any type of load, and to see if there really is any difference between placing some type of interface between the CPU chip and the aluminum heatsink. And there is. The problem is that under load, at some point, the CPU temperature shoots up and it either reboots or crashes. I've verified this because while AIDA 64 shows me temperature values ​​below 50 degrees, the unit runs stable. When it starts showing values ​​above 70 degrees, just listening to music with a low CPU load that doesn't justify that operating temperature, it's just a matter of time before a reboot or crash occurs.

The factory fan may have too low airflow. You'd need to remove the factory fan and replace it with a 40 x 40 x 25 mm fan to increase the airflow over the aluminum heatsink.

Arielnac I understand. Thank you.
