Re: DEAD PLAYER RECOVERY GUIDE
I have done exactly everything stated in the guide. When it gets to the point of uploading firmware, I have tried both versions stated in the guide, as well as 9.0.xx versions. NONE of these are working. My player's screen is completely black, and does absolutely nothing. My computer will occasionally recognize it as its own separate drive and assign it a letter. Usually it only shows as being a USB Mass Storage Device. I don't know what I'm doing with this thing. I don't know anybody who does. I can't tell which version of the firmware I need for it. All I know is that the chip I kept using the tweezers on says the following:
Samsung 728
K9G8G08U0M
FEF1078BC
One of the other chips on the board is covered with a silver sticker that will not come off. There is a TINY chip on the board, but I cannot read the writing on it.
When I got the player, I was never informed that I had to do anything to it other than format it. I knew nothing of firmware, or dump.bin files.
Right now, I fear my MP4 player is completely dead and cannot be recovered. I am seriously considering legal action against the person who sold the player to my husband on eBay (hailitele). Yes, I know, I should have checked to see if he was on the list, but I didn't know of any lists, and have NEVER dealt with a fraudulent seller on the site before.
If anyone has any ideas, please send me a private message. If you want to know what my player looks like, send me a PM and I will send you the pic.
I am so frustrated...I don't know whether to cry, scream, or start looking for a new MP4 player.
