MP4 Killed

harmony · #1 (**permalink**) 12th Oct 2006, 7:01 am

Well I screwed up my player.

Video playback was screwy so I figured I would give the firmware upgrade a shot. Tried it and since then it has only been starting as a black screen. I tried to fix it but eventually the thing stopped showing up as usb storage so I couldnt reload it anymore (just before it did it was showing up as two removeavle drives for some reason).

I tried the fix with the opening of the player and the contacting of the chip, but it only worked to load new firmware on it the first time. Since then I cant get it to show up as a new device anymore to get the firmware on there.

Right now I just wana get a good idea of the firmware I need so I can try it again. Its a MP4, 1.5 inch screen, 8gb. Here are some pics

Please help T_T

harmony, Some players come with a copy of the firmware on the mini cd but this is quite rare. Out of my 6 players only one has come with firmware.

If it is there it will be a .bin or .fw file.

No fw files

A few bins, but the paths were
F:\ENGLISH\The Windows98USB drive
F:\ENGLISH\The telephone is originally the tool
F:\中文\MP3电话本工具\电话本工具2

Any idea what firmware would be right?

Okay weirdness, just redid the recovery thing with the 3.5.37v2.1b FM.fw firmware. Still is showing up as two disk drives that are both 8gigs.

Still nothing on the screen, any ideas on what to do?
