hello, i am a new member that owns a avision Mp4 player that was quite troublesome the last few days.
while charging the player turned its screen white and stayed that way.
i browsed the internet and found numerous sites regarding this type of players, with all sorts of irregularities and allot of firmwares to fix them. after trying the reset button a few times i decided i should try to re-install the firmware.
it's not the first time i did so, i had a 'well' mp4 player fixed for a friend, but that one had the cd with the firmware, mine didn't even come with one.
And when trying to find the exact brand, i found out that avira was a fax/printer/scanner manufacturer that had nothing to do with mp4 players like mine.
i stumbled upon a site having a pic of my player (having 'MP4' written on the case instead of 'avision' tho) and downloaded the firmware to flash the player. it failed, nothing changed except the firmware version, with the screen staying as white as it could.
then, later on, after trying some other 1.8' screen mp4 player firmwares i found the S1MP3 site with what seemed to be my mp4 in the wiki site, at the mp4 database section.
They had an exact pic of it... with the 'avision' logo missing from it tho. they called it 'Freedata FD1505P4'.
I got the board ID they gave (JM_9312_V2) and using the extra info i got from this site i found a firmware called "FREEDATA_FD1505P4_9.1.52" that was presumed to be ripped from the player Freedata Player.
I tried flashing it and for a moment it seemed to work... till after the hourglass the menu appeared upside down at 180 degrees from its normal position.
The left and right buttons worked, but play/stop, 'menu' and 'vol' had no response.
It was motivating to get rid of the white screen tho...
I then tried a few more firmwares and at a specific one the player was no longer seen as a removable disk drive, but simply as 'usb device', with no driver matching it.
Panic was to follow. I browsed this site's forums, since they were quite useful, and i found the thread about 'how to recover a dead mp3/mp4 player' and did as it described. pulled the mp4 apart and played with a metal screwdriver over the chip's pins. it reseted when i touched certain pins, but it still failed to find the player as a disk drive like before or as an ADFU Device as it was described in the step by step tutorial.
while doing so i took some pictures of the player and submitted them in the gallery for people to see how it looks on both its outside and its inside.
After getting an accept from the admins they should appear in the gallery.
so, my question to you is the following... is there anything i can do to my player or is it completely dead?
I would like to know how i can get it to be recognised again if possible and if i manage that maby someone has a firmware for it?
Thanks for reading and I'm awaiting some help from you all, it would be really appreciated.
