my mp4 player freeze on sand clock
 

i got a problem with my digital mp4 player with samsung chip..like ipod...and after few weeks i tried to open it but it freezes in loading screen (sand clock) before showing welcome screen...i cant do nothing with it and the computer can't detected it.i asked many people but no answer...i hope i'll get an answer herr on this website.my mp4 is nano style 1gb (it was 8 gb but i discovered that it's 1gb,loool)even that i got a problem with it...so angry of this chinese company.
i hope for an fast answer....

Well I found that screen usually sticks when adding new songs, perhaps it's during the indexing part?

My only guess, since your pc cannot detect it, is that your chip is somehow corrupted. Or the MBR (Master boot record that holds your file system info on the chip) is not right.

Kinda awkward since your pc cannot detect it... hmm... anybody know how to flush a chip?

I have the same problem on a nano clone mp4 player. I tried the dead player recovery guide, but my player couldn't go into ADFU mode. You might want to give it a shot, maybe you're lucky: http://www.mympxplayer.org/dead-play...ide-vt567.html

am sorry but the computer detected it but before showing the harddrive it says that this is something wrong and may not work...and it doesn't work and i can't c the hard drive for my mp4...???

OH! Something like USB Device not recognized? I found that to be a bad link somewhere between the chip and your pc's usb. Are you plugging it in via a hub or extension cable?

The message is New Hardware Found, but when I try to install it, it fails.
Then I try to set the player as an ADFU device (learned that from the Dead Player Recovery Guide). But the PC still doesn't detect ADFU device, so I tried to point it to the AdfuUpdate.inf file, but I get the error message:

Any ideas?

I have the same problem. Don't know what to do. The problem is in detecting the player. Unknown USB device... Have no ideas :(

Ok.. as I said in my original post, there are a lot of people experiencing this "Hourglass Problem", I think the good people at MyMpxPlayer should join their efforts to find a solution to this problem, we are all willing to provide as much information as needed. Hope we find a solution soon...

I've not got any experience in this sort of thing but have you tried taking the battery out overnight. I had problems with my phone and my PSP and this sorted them both out
