I have had the re-boot code, but forgot to write it down. Anyone have it?
How to Reboot the Display
Press and hold buttons 1, 2 and 5 simultaneously to instantly reboot the system. This may be helpful if you need to cycle power after changing certain settings and for general troubleshooting.

Thanks. That's going on my checklistAll the combos
Button 1: Hold to shut down or hold to turn on Skyview
Buttons 1,2,5: Press all together to reboot Skyview
Buttons 2,7: Press together for Screenshot
Buttons 7,8: Hold to enter setup menu
Just the other day, I was flying a Dynon Skyview, and while descending, it completely froze up! Airspeed, altitude, attitude. .everything froze! I was able to swap it to another display, but is this common on Dynon? Does this ever happen to Garmin? If I only had one screen, and was in IMC..this could be a disaster.

EXACTLY my philosophy.If you fly in IMC with only one screen, no backups, then yes, you are rolling the dice. With whatever brand efis you might have.
FWIW; in 8yrs and over 900hrs of flying I have never had this happen with my dual SkyView system. But failures happen to all systems, no brand is immune. That is why a well designed system with adequate redundancy is critical in our airplanes. YMMV

What software version are you running? 16.0 has just been released, which fixed a bug that could sometime cause problems booting or freezing with certain USB sticks.
What brand of usb sticks were causing the freezing up?
