Black screen after f/w update
 

I have a new (got it yesterday) Glacier 2GB. When I tested the player, I noticed that the Games icon could't be selected. The selector just jumped over the icon.

So I thought that a f/w update might fix that, so I went on. I downloaded the latest f/w files from Uxcell, and did the update. The firmware was the same version, that already was installed.

But after the update, that was successful, the screen "frooze" at Connect status. I switched off and on, then the screen was completely black. No buttons work, but the player can connect to the PC as a removeable disk.

Do I have a 2Gb USB disk now, or can the player be recovered :cry:

NOSiR , there are 2 sets of "Glacier-type" player firmwares here:

http://www.mympxplayer.org/10-v9xxxx...ery-df600.html

You might want to give them a go. If all of them do not work, try the remaining v9.xx firmwares here http://www.mympxplayer.org/actions-9...ware-dc37.html

The thing about the firmware version is that it is not accurate. As manufacturers source cheaper components, they would modify the firmware to suit the hardware. However, they do not update the version accordingly. So there might be hundreds of variants of eg v9.1.50 firmwares, which are not compatible with each other.

The MP3 Utilities Upgrade Tool tells you that the upgrade was successful when the firmware has been fully flashed into the player. It does not tell you if the firmware was compatible or not. So you can flash a non-compatible firmware in, and it would still show you successful.
