Hi,

my player's been dead for weeks now and i can't use it because the battery is already empty.

i can't charge it, because when i connect it throught a USB cord, Windows XP shows this :

Any suggestions please?

Thanks alot.

kingp0d , charging of the battery usually do not need the player to be recognised. As the battery only need the +5V and GNd pins to be connected, and not the data pins.

thanks for your reply mate.

ok i'll plug the usb cord and let's see if it charges.

BTW, if windows can't recognize the mp3player as a removable drive, then how am i going to put files in it?

make sure the main power switch is on and then try a different usb port. could you upload a pic of ur palyer

thanks for the response.

i plugged it in my computer and i think it charged because i can open it agian. but still, windows won't detect it as a removable drive, that's why i can't put files in it.

here's the firmware version:

i'm uploading the image of the player now, i'll post it later.


THankX!

sorry for the late reply, had to deal with some things.

i don't think the usb cable is damaged because when i connect the player thru that usb cable, the player charges.

the only problem is windows can't detect it as a removable drive.

kingp0d , try using another USB cable as some player cables are faulty.

Also, try connecting to other computers and see if the player could be detected.
