I have a Proline Digital RC-501 (based on SigmaTel MSCN) 256Mb
It doesn't power on with a battery, so I tried to change the firmware as indicated in this topic.
The change seems to work, but the updater can't check it at the end. And after I disconnnect the player is still dead.
I also tried the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool to format it (as long as I will not use it as a mp3 player now). This tool accept the player after I applied the firmware via the updater (without removing the player) but it is not abble to do the format.

So I'm thinking that the player still work but the flash memory is dead and can no longer keep the updates. But as I'm not a spe******t, Iwant to have your opinion.
Thanx in advance.
