Gutturalm: If you find the correct full firmware, the pod will work as usual (if your pod died because of a wrong upgrade). But as you said before you use a full firmware that let you use your pod but no graphics on the screen. That is because the firmware that you load has same functions that your player...so it let you use it. But has not the same screens so you didnt see anything. You have to find the correct firmware extracted with s1fwx; if not, find any pod exactly like your and extract it yourself. Then you use the "Player Upgrade Tool" to flash it to your pod and it will recover full life again.

My problem is different, the player screen died and my friend did nothing to happend. Maybe is a bad contact between the board and the screen or something i dont know. The screen its on but shows no images. I have full firmware for my player and i tried reinstalling firmware but still the same. If anyone has the same problem and could solve it, please help.
