What were the results of the above? Next step will be to delete guisettings.xml.

I also experienced black screens as well, it only happened on one of my three computers though, they are all setup the same.

Had to reinstall dharma 10.1 and neon skin to get it working again.

I can assure others you do not need to reinstall xbmc, in fact that would not address the underlying cause of the problem. Sorry you had to go through that.

I press right click 8 times and then hit the center bottom, but I was still getting a black screen. How do you delete guisettings.xml?

I also had this issue with two machines. My easy way to get a away from the black screen was to press the 's' button. That gave me the bottom menue which enabled me to get to the settings dialogue. There I made sure that the new Neon update was loaded. After that everything was fine again.

Exit xbmc
Ssh to the atv
cd /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata
rm guisettings.xml

That should do it.
