I checked the fw version before it died and it said 9.1.52 i got the same version but nothing. Not working.
And i've found this serial and name on some chip inside: Nynix HY27UT088G2M. Please someone help: summoned_by_wish@yahoo.com
First: that chip is Hynix not Nynix

Second: my advice is the following:
- try to power up your player somehow to have enough energy for doing the recovery
- then search for a similar firmware here but an earlier version like 9.1.51 or 9.1.50 (maybe 9.1.43 could be good also)
- download an earlier version of MPUtilities (I have used the 3.68 but 4.00 is also good if that early version cannot do anything)
- do the "recovery guide" posted here in the forum
- use that early version (9.1.51 or earlier) for recovering
- then use your dump.bin after firmware upgrading
- if your player is useable try to format it in FAT (not NTFS, or FAT 32)
- I have used the tool called "HP Usb format" or similar to that name
- rename your original firmware's attribute from fw, fwu to bin
- upgrade your player with it, and then the dump.bin again
- if it is needed, use the formatting tool again
- then your player is alive!

Maybe my "guide" is not the perfect one for your player, but it works for me perfectly!
