Hello and thank you for providing such a great forum. Lots of useful information throughout the whole site.
I have found two other threads addressing this issue, but one is from 2014 and the other from 2016. I wasn't sure if it was proper to resurrect those threads, so here I am.
I have an SDM3055 stuck on the boot screen that is black with white writing "Siglent-Siglent Technologies."
The power turns on the fan and the DMM attempts to boot, but hangs on the boot screen.
I have downloaded the updated firmware, but I am unable to find instructions for updating without access to the display.
I have contacted support@siglent.com, per the instructions on their "After Sales" webpage.
While I was waiting for a response, I was hoping perhaps someone here may have a suggestion.
TIA for any replies and have a great day!
I had an SDM3045X that had done the same thing, and I was able to recover it using a recovery package provided by tech support.
I think member tautech can help.
I will try contacting him via PM. Thank you for the suggestion.

Yes possibly I can.

Got it.
There is a recovery package for the SDM3055 and it's restricted to service centers as we don't want it out in the public arena.
Depending on the FW version installed before the boot freeze the USB package may repair it otherwise the unit must be opened to access the internal SD card slot.
In the first instance contact your local guys in Ohio for help:

Wanted to follow up on this thread and report that it was a very easy fix. Siglent's support was very responsive and their instructions were very clear.
Anyone who needs to perform this recovery . . . be sure you are using an 8GB or smaller USB stick and be sure to format it to FAT32. Those are really the only important details about the process.
Thank you to all of you who stepped in to assist. Greatly appreciated.
Take care and have a great day!
Hello,
I've got the same problem with my SDM3055 as darryl.lawler. It suddendly refused to boot and stucks at the bootscreen.
I already contacted my local sales office here in germany but didnt receive an answer. I read about the recovery package here in the forum. Is there any change to get this package?
Greetings from germany.

What causes this? How often does it occur? Seems like Siglent is aware of it - any chance for a more permanent firmware fix?
What causes this?
Old FW not updated.
How often does it occur?
At random.
Seems like Siglent is aware of it - any chance for a more permanent firmware fix?
Current FW doesn't have boot freeze issues AFAIK.
Hi Guys !
My : Siglent SDM3055 is up and running again
, thanks to tautech
Hi Guys !

No worries, happy to help when I can and glad you got it sorted with just USB recovery which indicates it's a newer unit or had the FW already updated to allow for USB recovery.
Enjoy.

No competition here, just us helping each other member.
Hi everyone,
Just to add my 2 cents to the conversation. I just got my brand new SDM3055. Really happy. Opened the box, checked the manual, plugged the beast, switched the power on and... can't get pass the splash screen!
From what I found so far, it seems to be a known issue for the past... 4 years!!! Are you kidding me? Don't know when mine was "built" but "for those playing along at home" (pun intended!) S/N is SDM35FAC3R0271. According to Siglent's web site the lastest FW is from Nov 2019 and the previous one is from April 2018.
I'm so not impressed.... First Siglent gear I ever bought and I'm probably not gonna get another one. I ordered this gear along with a with a SDG1032X which I haven't received yet because it is BO for next 2-3 week and I'm wondering if I'm not gonna cancel that.

Drop me a PM with your email address and I can send you the recovery package.
That unit may have old firmware installed which was notorious for boot freezes and later versions seem to have eliminated this.
Hey everyone,

. Thanks to Tautec

What goes around comes around ... it's good karma ...
I now have the same problem. My SDM3055 unit is about 5 years old, worked like a charm up until now. Went to use it yesterday afternoon and it won't get past the boot screen. Anyway I can get the recovery package? I'd hate to wait until Monday to get in touch with the guys in Ohio.
Thanks
Dominick
Certainly immediately when Tautech is online again and sees this here.
It won't be long before he's online.
