Ok step by step, this is what i have tried.
Firstly, a pic of my mp3 player
When it is plugged in/turned on, it shows this image
When it is plugged in my computer makes the noise that a usb drive is plugged in but i can't access it through my computer. Then, when i run MP3 Player Upgrade Tools v 4.00 it says firmware is in a state of recovery
(rather long, so ill just link)

So i use this firmware
And get this message
The screen now displays (kinda blurry, sorry)
So i unplug, turn on, the screen goes back to the hourglass and nothing has changed.
V4.00 of the MP3 player tools came with my mp3 player. But i read somewhere that other versions might fix the mp3 player.
So i triead v 4.07 and received this message
But after the device is unplugged then turned on, the same thing happens with the hourglass image
Any other firmware i use results in the mp3 player upgrade tool to become stuck at 5 bars in.
Well if you have any ideas id be very greatful. Or if you need me to post any other images that might help solve the problem please ask me to do so.
Thanks
