As the title says,I need new firmware for it.
In the settings menu there's a button for "update firmware" but when I press it and plug it in to my PC windows device installer comes up and searches for the drivers but can't find any so I need firmware and a program that will install it,Here's a picture of the exact one.

I also checked in the settings tab under about and it says:
VER: 00.00.0000
Date: 2009-01-09
And that's all it says I have no information on this brand or anything.

You have a Rockchip-based player.
Try to find the firmware for the player with the similar appearance and main menu, and then install it to your player.

Thank you very much,I looked and I didn't see any with the same picture but i did find this one,I think it's it because of the version number but Im not sure and i don't want to get the wrong one and brick it.

You have a sylvania touch screen mp3/mp4 player. Mine is identical and is 4 gig. Hope that helps

How to check the generation of your Rockchip:
try to make a firmware backup using a .tag file
(follow the instructions from this forum)
if this procedure will be successful,
then you'll have a firmware backup

and your chip's generation is RK27xx;
else the generation is RK26xx (because it's still impossible
to make a backup from RK26xx-based player)

I opened it and the chip says "ROCKCHIP" RK2608A and I can't make a back up so do you think it's safe to update the firmware? and If I were to update it what program would I use? BTW thanks for all the help so far.
