DEAD PLAYER RECOVERY GUIDE

tadad1 · #**181** (**permalink**) 6th Oct 2006, 4:10 am

devika, I have found it does not really matter where the chip is shorted, I have successfully reset the player on the left side, the right side and even from side to side across the chip. The recommended points to short though are here

If your player is not being recognised as an ADFU device and the upgrade software is not detecting your player then you need to manually install the driver as explained in the red text. If you do not have an ADFU driver in the Windows folder you will find one in C:\Program Files\MP3 Player Utilities 3.57\RDiskUpdate\driver or where you have the MP3 Player Utilities installed.

rfanteno, There is no way to edit the firmware if the images are all mirrored.

rfanteno, This is the firmware I mentioned that had the same menu images as the one you showed. DOWNLOAD

devika, When you say it will not power on is it showing in Windows Explorer when you connect to your PC?
If your player is able to load firmware again then you can try some other 3.5.37 from the download section.

devika, The 3.5.37v2.1b FM firmware you used is just enough to get your player recognised again, now you should try some other firmware, if your player stops responding again just reset the chip and use the 3.5.37v2.1b FM again.

devika, Then try a different firmware. You can not expect to load one firmware and have your player fixed. If your player is in recovery mode you will have to flash it twice once with a full firmware and then with a dump. You will find full firmware in the download section. You may have to try different combinations of full and dump as well. This is all layed out in the guide so I suggest you read it fully so you understand.
