what button do i hold to make it as a webcam
Reflashing is unlikely to fix the detection problem. I had the same problem and it's caused by non-standards compliant usb chip used on the device or by bad initialization of this usb chip. You can still access files stored on internal flash if you connect it to an usb 1.1(not usb 2.0) capable pc. You should also be able to access sd cards on any pc if you have one. This "bug" is does not affect firmware upgrading so you should be able to do that on an usb 2.0 pc.

Anyway, here are couple ways around this problem:
- use your device on an usb 1.1 capable pc
- go get a sd card and put your files there(your pmp has menu option to select active "drive")
- somehow remove usb 2.0 support from your system making act like usb 1.1 (should work in theory) *
- use usb 1.1 only capable usb hub between your device and pc (again, should work in theory)
- fiddle with your pc's bios settings in hopes of being able to affect usb timing. fsb(Front side bus) speed is the one you could try changing.

If you re-read this thread, you should find two firmwares for this device, along with description of where the "webcam button" is. These firmwares are incompatible as far as I can tell. fw posted by me is older and less capable.


* usb 1.1 is also known as ohci(Open Host Controller Interface) or uhci(Universal Host Controller Interface ) and usb 2.0 as ehci(Enhanced Host Controller Interface)
