My stiletto wont go to home screen. It starts to power on and the dog appears but thats it... it never goes to the home screen.

I am having the same problem. Sirius must've sent out a bug cause many stiletto users are coming forth. Mine stopped working about 1 month ago as of today March 26. Sirius Representative told me today that they are being discontinued.

I don't know about you but I had to plug and unplug my 4GB PNY card in 6 times before I could get past the white dog. Only supports up to 8GB per manual.

I do this repair for a broken LCD on the S50's. I am on Ebay and my user name is rarey57siriusXM. Look me up I also do LCD and scroll wheel repairs for the Stiletto 10 and 100's. Cost of this repair service is $24.95 and that includes free priority mail shipping back to you on all these different repairs. Thanks

I am having the same exact problem!!!

exact same problem here. the fuse inside is blown, according to sirius tech support. I have a new one "on order" as a warranty replacement. They said it could take up to a month (in canada) i read many bad reviews about this unit... now I agree with them completely. 3 months of light home use before a fuse blows? Pathetic. A month wait for a new one? Unforgivable.

no sorry it wont the stiletto 1 it deeper than the stiletto 2.

I am most certain that you have to return the radio most likely you do have a faulty radio and you have only one or two choices here. Return or take it to a tech...I would use the warrenty and send it back...sounds very faulty...this is common with these radios.

Use the Sirius recovery tool:

Solution is downloading the sirius recovery software from sirius.com My radio would not connect to my computer because it would not fully turn on. disconnect the battery. Hold the DISPLAY and OPTIONS button on the radio face when reconnecting battery. Connect to PC and Sirius Recovery Program will pop up. Run program, takes approx 10 to 15 min and radio works good as new.
