geilboy12002 , have you done a firmware upgrade?

Do you still remember your previous working firmware version number?

geilboy12002 , what assoleh meant was to short the memory chip as outlined in the Dead Player Recovery guide here http://www.mympxplayer.org/dead-play...ide-vt567.html

What this does is to force the player to reboot itself and let it begin accepting firmwares.

However, the problem lies in obtaining a compatible firmware for your player. So unless your player is of the v3.5.xx series and you have extracted a backup firmware before, it is a difficult process of testing individual firmwares until you get a working one.
