When I turn it on it stays on this screen and none of the buttons work after you switch the power on, is there anything I can do to fix this? The model is AKTV485 T

Sounds like micro-processor is locked up or defective. Try unplugging unit for an hour, then power up. If this is not a fix, have pro-tech check it out.

This behavior could be an indicator of power supply problems or abnormal current drain from elsewhere in the set.
Modern supplies are, by design, able to shut down if voltage or currents aren't within the design limits of the circuits they are servicing.
Without some hands-on it is not possible to isolate the problem unless one of the forums deals with a series fault.
If the set had a reset button, it would be located on the outside of it where the user could reset it.
The reset buttons one finds on some sets is nothing other than a very cheap kind of thermal circuit breaker that trips when current is above its limit.
These are kind of prone to failure themselves.

Three months ago I had the same problem. My wife paid over $300 for the radio, the portable boom-box and subscription less than 2 years ago.
Sirius offered no help or discount on a new radio. Guess they follow the Microsoft doctrine because they suggested I upgrade to a new radio.

Anyhow, feeling frustrated, I took the receiver apart, thinking that a stray voltage on an IC ping maybe causing the problem. It was only a guess. I don't even have a wiring diagram At any rate, once I had it apart, I used a small flathead screw driver and drug it (lightly) across all IC pins, possibly in an effort to drain the voltage. Please do this in a low static area.

When I put everything back together, the receiver worked. It's been working good the up until about 2 weeks ago, when the same problem began again. I just finished the same process and the receiver is working again.

I don't advocate this for anyone who doesn't know how to handle electronics.

I'm just very disappointed in Sirius for not admitting the problem and providing no discount for a newer model. I have a $10 clock radio that's 9 years old. Guess what, I don't have to take it apart every three months to keep it working.

Also, is it new? Same thing happened with mine when I first bought it maybe 72 hours of purchase. Took it to the Apple store and it was deemed defective. If it isn't new, then you will have to pay for them to look at it, so consider your options. If you've had it for more than 2 years, then you can go with cssidy's 2 suggestion and buy a new 3G for $99 bucks. It would probably be the cheapest option

I had the same problem--It turned out to be corrupt data on the USB drive.

Remove the battery.

Make sure the "HOLD" button is "OFF" and insert the drive in your computer's USB port.

Find the USB drive in your "My Computer" menu and right click on it, then click "Format." (Note: Some computers to not supply power to certain USB ports. If you do not see the USB drive, try another port. If you can't find it using any port, put the battery back in and try again.)

Quick-format the USB device as at FAT, FAT16, or FAT32.

To prevent drive/data corruption, ALWAYS click on "Safely remove hardware" in your computer's taskbar and "eject" your USB device before removing it from the USB port.

You should have all menus and functionality restored, it worked for me.
