Default Re: MP4 shows black screen with hourglass

Hi Jim.
PID is FF66
I take out the battery and connect player to computer VIA usb.
Switch player on and computer detects ADFU device but NO hourglass on screen, screen is blank.
I open upgrade program 4.05 and it reads as follows:
"It is in recover state, and select the firmware file for recovering please!"
followed by a file selection box.
Next I select the firmware Version 3.
I click on "Recover Firmware". The screen lights up, the program goes through upgrade process and reads: "Upgrade is success, the program will exit!" I click OK and the program closes down. The player remains with screen lit up until I switch it off. The screen will not turn off on its own even after a half hour or so.
When I turn the player back on with the battery inside and usb unplugged, the screen stays black, no hourglass, even if I leave it for ten minutes switched on.
I switch it off, take out the battery.
When I plug it back in all I get is windows recognise adfu device again and that's all.
Then I open up update program and it reads
"It is in recover state, and select the firmware file for recovering please!" all over again.
It does this with each glacier firmware I've tried so far. The only difference with some firmwares is that, when I turn the player on after flashing, the screen will light up black/blank when I put the battery in and turn on.
