Please first let me request you excuse my ignorance, I have read so many posts, on this forum now that I am totally confused on what I do actually need to do.
My problem is that I unfortunately I was the successful bidder on 2 ebay items!! Both played fine for a short while before the corrupt named files appeared, some songs play for 10 seconds only, folders show as being 100GB+ etc no doubt what many have experienced. Firmware according to the player is currently ACI_V3.5.35 SC85051F. I have formatted the players as per instructions here several times.
I have a function (which I have not tried) in my “set up” called “Firmware upgrade”. To use this am I to first go looking for the file? And perhaps have that ready on my computer?
If I extract the firmware using the s1fwx tool, how do I “backup existing Frimware” first? Do I try to repair the firmware I already have using this tool before looking for the “correct” firmware.
I downloaded a file from
http://radipshare.de/files/3220816/A...85051F.7z.html
it’s a .7z file I am not sure how to even use it.
Frankly I have given up on trying to view photos let alone avi’s, even the 4GB idea is now just a dream, but it would be nice to play a dozen or so songs! I doubt going back to the seller will be of any use, when we are crazy enough to agree to Postage of $50 from Hong Kong, thus the value of the product only being $50 or so, and my seller just kept replying in worse English each time!!
I would appreciate any help available, I am not computer literate and find some terms a little hard to understand. I thank you in advance for your patience.
