This really belongs in the Memory thread:

I was thinking maybe the reason I am having trouble, Juicing up my gizmo again is because I have (found) two drives. The updater is looking @ the one Meg drive which is the real one but it cannot but the info in there because it is too small.

A good 15 or more years back (when hard drives where really expensive and all we had was a 20GB there was this program called STACKER which doubled your hard drive space.

I do not recall exactly how it worked – but I do remember that: 1) it made a seconded drive read only 2) it slowed the heck out of the computer 3) you would have to defrag all the time, or else you where in risk of crashing or it would work even slower

So my guess this is what they are doing and somehow hiding the second drive (which popped up by me).

thanx so much this guide helped me sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooo mush its amazing i have the same exact mp4 as the one displaye don the picture making my life extremely esier but im havin a bit uf trouble finding the right firmware i was wondering if anyone could tell me witch one to use

You have to just keep trying different firmwares until you get the right 1 for your player. Look in the downloads>>>firmware section and good luck!.

Re: DEAD PLAYER RECOVERY GUIDE
 

[solved]I had just updated my firmware like I've done many times before with my back dump.bin file (I repaired the dump.bin file before use) connected back my player to my computer to download some song onto it and press the scroll buttom on my player the screen scrambled and look green in some areas. So I turned the player off and on when it came on the screen looked blue like when you have update with a wrong firmware, so I connected it back to my computer and try to updated the firmware with my dump.bin that didn't work it still looked blue. So I tried it with the original dump.bin that I did no modifications to, it still didn't work. So I search the site and came across the DEAD PLAYER RECOVERY GUIDE post read it carefully to make sure I understod it properly and went a head with the steps. Everything went smoothly my player was recovered I used the full firmware provided by tadad1 and my backup dump.bin file. About 5 min after I downloaded some song on my player safty removed it, I started listen to some songs after about 3 songs the player did the same thing as before the screen scrambled and look green in some areas. I tried to update the firmware again and it didn't work. So I did the DEAD PLAYER RECOVERY GUIDE again, everthing went smooth until I reach the step to upload my backup dump.bin, after I upload it the screen stayed blue like it was an invalid firmware. So I tried a bunch of othe firmware to see if maybe the recovery change to original firmware nothing worked. My player responds when I hold down play it turns on and off. Can any one help me thanks.

Kenny2123, The fact that the player is running fine and then without any reason scrambles and leaves you with a blue screen, also that you have been able to recover it and then have the same thing happen makes me think this is more than a firmware problem. There may be a short in your player somewhere that is causing a reset, or a problem with the LCD, memory chip or CPU. I can only suggest you dismantle the player and give it a good clean and look for any damage, possible loose components or a faulty LCD connector.

Thanks for your help tadad1 after thinking about what you said I put some songs on my player and the player works something is wrong with the LCD screen. I'll see if I could get it repaired or replaced.

does this guide also works with other mpx player models aside from the nano clone?

shiloh, Dispite the differences in apperance and layout all these player basically work the same. I have used the process on two other non-clone type players.

thanks tadad1, another question, i tried to use the s1res/s1fwx software on the ordinary mp3 players but it doeswork on them, do you know any software that can load startup logos on ordinary mp3 players (the one with plain lcd screen) and also software for the PMP players also.....
