A display setting that turns the LCD "off"does sound like what's happening...
No joy on seeing any display when I shine a bright light at it... Just seeing the reflection of the light source. I cant even see the splash screen if I hold it under a bright light while its turning on.
I dont remember how to navigate to the settings menu, or the display settings, or how that screen looks if I could get there.
When I connect the player as a flash drive, there is an "NES" folder that more or less looks like it may the the operating system files... But they are all named in chinese, and I havent been able to make sense of any of them. Most of those files end with .nes
The only reason I may open it up, would be to identify the chip, so I would know what device driver to try to download to try to connect this to a computer in "upgrade" mode, and what flash software I should try to find to load on here.
If I hold the "home" button down, plug in the USB cable to a computer, and then release the "HOME" button after the splash screen comes up, I think the player is starting in "upgrade" mode, because the "generic flash drive" device driver does not load... My VistaHome edition OS does not recognize what device is hooked up. So I dont have a device driver that recognizes this player in "upgrade" mode yet.
I suppose I may connecting it as a flash drive, backing up everything that shows under the "NES" folder, and then deleting the NES folder stuff, just to see what happens... I guess "shooting in the dark" is about all you can do with a black screen...
