Ok, my friend got a 100 dollar Delstar MP4 player. 512 megabytes of memory. It wasn't really worth 100 dollar though, because it has "actions" firmware. The firmware veresion is 9.0.48.
I know all this information because he let me borrow it before, so that I could put videos on it (ppl r stupid) so I did. I returned it to him safe and sound. (this was like 3 months ago)
Then, like a month later, he told me that it can't turn on any more, it's broken. I told him to let me see it, but he didn't have it, and then I joined basketball and didn't ride the bus for like 3 months. A while ago the season was over, and yesterday I told him to give it to me on the bus. So there you go, I have it. I thought that all I would have to do was format it, or maybe put some new firmware on it (hey, it's broken anyways)
I connected it via USB and all that shows up on the task bar (i think that's what it's called) is "USB Device" or something. Then a window pops up called "Found New Firmware"
I know that, that window won't help or anything, but I tried it anyways. It obviously doesn't work.
So what should I do? I really have no clue. The screen stays on the hour glass.
