Computer doesn't recognize MP4 player anymore

sander0606 · #1 (**permalink**) 5th Aug 2007, 1:06 pm

I have a mp4 player (1.5" , 4 GB) and I only had it a few days when the computer couldn't recognize it anymore. I can still play the songs but my computer don't recognise it. I've opened it and tried to fix it (like discribed in topic "dead mp3 player" but still it isn't recognised.

My firmware is 9.0.50

I had to work hard for this player and I really want it to work again :cry:

I would not open the mp4-player, because it's working. And dont try to "update" the firmware - thats very risky, 95% of them post in "dead player revival" after they have tried this!

Search to locate the problem at your PC: Maybee windows has forgotten the driver, reinstall the driver! Check the Windows System properties. Check if the USB Connector/Hub is ok and working. Install the driver on a friends PC and try if the player is recognised there.

I don't know where to find the driver! I don't know the brand of my mp4 and the CD I have doesn't work properly. (and there is no driver included I think, only some other software). Could it be a problem that I use Vista?
Or maybe it's a manipulated player that has a size of 2 Gb instead of 4 gb? (to many files on it ---> crash???)

I don't know, can somebody tell me??

maybe its the usb that is not working,because f you follow the dead player recovery guide its a sure thing that your player will be recognized.

I don't know if this could be the problem. My USb ports are working properly and deliver enough power I suppose (usb 2.0).
I don't know if it could be due to the usb cable or connector of my mp4 player. I still can load the battery with the usb-cable connected to my pc.

OK now I'm making progress. The USB connector didn't worked properly. Now the mp4 player appears at my screen but he don't know what it is. I've tried to install a driver (adfuud.sys) but my pc crashes all the time. Can someone give me some drivers plz.

(firmware 9.0.50)

does your pc restart everytime it detects the device?
thats okay

It restarts everytime I try to install an Adfuus driver. There appears a blue screen and my computer crashes and then it restarts. What do I have to do now? I don't know if i'm using the good drivers
