I've a chinese Sony 256 MB Mp4 Player. It does not open normally
but gets hanged displaying "busy sign".It does not get detected by the
computer as a removable disk. What should I do? It requires 3.2.16 firmware.It also got affected by a virus.Please help me as soon as possible.I think you have confronted this type of problem before so plz tell me the soln for it as soon.

Sachit, If your player is not connecting you do not have many options other than shorting the memory chip as outlined in the Dead Player Recovery Guide. It is the only way I know of to get the player recognised by Windows again.
It is hard to say what caused the problem in the first place but if you have a backup of your firmware you have a pretty good chance of recovering it unless there is a hardware fault.

If you do not have a backup then after following the DPRG you will just have to try all the 3.2.16 firmware we have on site and perhaps the 3.5.35 which may also work with your player until you find one that suits your player.

I did the dead recovery of my mp4 player.But this time,it displayed an error "Invalid Upgrade Firmware file!"...I was suprised becoz I know it's the right firmware for it.I've done this before.I've even re-installed that same firmware several times.
The screen doesn't shows black screen but shows busy sign all the time.Plz help me as soon as possible.

sachitmaskey , you might need to try using other versions of MP3 Utilities. Uninstall your current version and install another version.

Some members in here reports that it helps to overcome the errors.
