Hi

Have you tried a flash.bin recovery?

Place a copy of the software on a USB stick and rename it "flash.bin"
With the USB in the V7 power on while repeat pressing the "Menu" button.
Note you must use the V7 remote, the V8 remote will not do this.
The unit should reload the software.

If this does not work there is a RS232 method you can also try.

You can test to see if the computer in the V7 is running by placing a small radio tuned on the AM band near the unit.
If the computer is running you should hear a noisy buzz from the radio.

It took me many tries to get RS232 recovery to work.

Here are my notes from my last RS232 testing.
The V7HD and the V8 Finder are much the same.
