innocent_imperfections, There is a program called EasyChips that may be able to identify your players chipset.

Dear Tadad1,
I tried some firmware for my player, but it is still not working. The screen is blue and sometime it blinks. And the wost is my computer can not see the player more, so I can't try any firmware more.
What I can do then? Please help me!
Thank you very much.

Hi. I used that EasyChips program and I got the following number combination in the first box: ATJ2085P.
Is this the chipset because nothing else makes sense although it does say it is a mass storage usb device.

innocent_imperfections, Yes that is the chipset. If you do not have a backup of your firmware then all you can do is try any you can find that match your screen size until you find one that works with your player.

leanseamap, If your player is no longer being recognised by the upgrade tool you need to short your chip again and then load a full version firmware then you can continue loading dump files till you find one that works with your player.

Yay! I fixed my MP4 player...i uninstalled the USB driver and reinstalled it, then uninstalled MP3 Utilities 3.70 and upgraded to MP3 Utiliites 4.05. After that I used this firmware: http://www.mympxplayer.org/firmware-...ltd-df392.html
Thank you whoever put that up...

innocent_imperfections, Have to keep trying dump files till you find one that works with your player. I know it is frustrating but keep going you will get there. I killed one of my player over 70 times before I managed to recover it.
