Boy... sure wish I had found this site earlier.....
I have a Coby MPC815-16G (see
http://cobyusa.com/files/hi_res/MP815_HR.jpg).
Every few days, it stops working completely. I try to turn it on and nothing happens. The screen remains totally blank.
If I plug it in to my PC, instead of the screen showing the message:
USB Connected
... I get nothing on the screen at all. However, my PC recognizes the device as an external hard drive. But it is
supposed to be recognized as an MTP device.
Anyway, the only fix I've been able to find is to reformat the drive and start all over.
I've been glancing through the forums... would a firmware upgrade help? Anyone have other ideas? The current System Information is:
F/W: 2.2.3-20090220
Total Space: 15.692GB
There is also a "hidden" folder named
SYSTEM with the following files:
FILEINFO.DAT
FILSORT.DAT
HOLDON.BIN
PLSTAT.DAT
RKFSWFRC.FRC
SAVE.BIN
Tx
-R
