Hi
Thanks for answering.

unfortunately it was bought in the U.S. so returning it is out of the question.

I tried the dead recovery, and it worked okay my ADFU device as it was recognised on the PC became a removable disc. So the pc is recognising the MP4 player and accepting firmware.

I think the problem is just getting the correct firmware, the upgrade tool is accepting some but not others but unfortunately at this stage I haven't found one which makes the MP4 player work, and I don't know what the original firmware was.

any furthern info or advice would be appreciated,.

I've lost the hour glass now and only get a blank dark blue screen
