DEAD PLAYER RECOVERY GUIDE

[tom99]

Thanks lattesurf.

I tried the latest version in the download section. MP3 Player Utilities 4.13

Same thing happens: stops after a couple (5) of completed blocks "downloading the restorable main program"..

edit: tried new Full firmware in download section. It uploaded! Now I only have to find the right dump file I guess..
I already have some flashing background lighting again! Thanks

Hello,

I tried to flash firmware with 3 computer. 2 of them cant recognise the ADFU...coz it say "blah blah content the information of ur hardware"....the other one YES...recognised as ADFU...but when i try to flash it...it say
" Flash File Protected " why? Thx...

* I open the player to shot it...but i saw one square chip with legs at 4 side...and the other one is longer chip but only both side...so when should i shot it? the longer side rite? just drag the tweezer from Start to End (both side)??

Hi i tried this guide but my computer still doenst recognize my mp4 player

i tried on an other usb port but still nothing, tried on 3 different computers and still not recognized, i dont have an other usb cable so i dont know what to do

can anyone help me out with this ?

[lattesurf]

tornadotcom , you should short the rectangular chip (the one with pins on both sides only). Just slowly go pin by pin until you can get the player to reboot.

sorry my friend I already did your guide, but my mp4 is not recognised by your computer help my please, my computer not show anything.

[lattesurf]

jony_valencia , the shorting of the pins is a trial and error method. There is no guaranteed combination of pins that would successfully reboot the player. You'll just need to keep trying.

jony_valencia , the shorting of the pins outlined in this guide is a trial & error method. Simply to say, it all depends on luck to get the right combination of pins that are shorted.

Just keep trying, and you'll soon get the player to reboot and install the ADFU.
