Hi,

I think version 4.3 is the boothelper image.

Anyway, see if you can get to the "monitor mode" to rule out hardware issues, then proceed with the pix os upgrade as a last resort:

Hello Mustafa,

Thank you for the reply.

Is there any other possible solution to fix the problem beside upgrading IOS, because I don't have any ios in hand.

Any solution would be appreciated.

Thanks in advace.
