Hi. As far as I know, the only way to reset Pleo?s software and reinstall the firmware (which you can also find here) is by starting from the popdemo via the SD card. Another method is through the USB port, but if you have a 64-bit system, it?s going to be tricky. You should also consider the possibility of a hardware fault: the fact that it reads a high temperature even if you replace the thermistor with a 10 kΩ resistor suggests a possible electronic problem. There used to be a trick some time ago of placing a file named automon.txt on the SD card with the command to disable the temperature sensor reading. If you have DinoMITE with its PDF guide, you can find the command to write inside the file?if you haven?t already tried it, of course. Usually, the most common fault I?ve encountered is due to the flat cable connecting the back part to the front part; it?s rather delicate, but replacing it is doable if you?re willing to disassemble and reassemble the unit.
