Dead player!

I need major help with my mp3/mp4 player. It was freezing on me one night, and kept on showing an hourglass, so I decided to upgrade the firmware. Once I did that, it crashed. Can't do anything with it. The only time it will go on, is when I plug it in to the computer, but it just shows a blue screen. I went through the recovery guide, but it didnt work at all, it still showed the blue screen. I tried using the mp3 player upgrade tool to upgrade the firmware to a full version(one given in the recovery guide) but it wouldn't work. Ive tried reinstalling the original version of the firmware, but that didnt work either. The original version is 9.0.48.
This is what is on the chips:
Samsung 643
K9G8G08U0M (Big Chip)

ATJ2091N
FA31108 58A (Small Chip)

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me give my player it's life back so I can start using it again.

IamCanadian , your player would be using the v9.0.xx series firmwares here http://www.mympxplayer.org/actions-9...mare-dc37.html

As there is no way of telling which firmware would work properly with your player, you'll need to try every single firmware in there.

Good luck.

Will putting in a new firmware, help give the player it's life back?

I've tried putting in a new firmware, but I can't put any on the player! Nothing will work. Is there any other solution to fixing the player.
This is the player:

I hope there is a solution!

IamCanadian , what do you mean by you can't put any on the player? Do you mean that MP3 Utilities Upgrade Tool does not recognise the player? If that's the case, then you will need to repeat the Dead Player Recovery Guide again.

The tool recognizes the player, but everytime I try to put a firmware on, it fails all the time. It always says "Read or write device information failed! Please exit program and check if device is connecting"
I know its connected though, or else I wouldn't be able to get into the tool, without having it connected to the computer.
