I have a chinese 8GB MP4 Player. For the last two months it was working fine. Now this player is not detected by the computer. When I connect it, it screen was on showing Computer, battery etc., but not detected by computer. While previously it will be detected by computer.
Secondly If I format this player, does I need to install firmware again.
Could you please help me.

Many Thanks.

Formatting the player will not erase firmware. So you can try and format the player and see if that helps.

Try different usb cable if you have any, most of the time this could be the problem.

If these two things don’t work i guess there is not much you can do with your player.

That could mean your player is dead there are two way you can try to fix it.
One is re-flashing the firmware which is risky if you don’t know what you are doing.

You can also take it to where you bought it they could re-flash the firmware.

These players only work for so long and that is the reason they are sold so cheaply.

Thank you for taking time to comment

Sorry for the later reply, my internet was down. As long as your firmware updater program detects the player thats fine. Just see if the program detects your player and update the firmware. I don’t have my player with me as its dead now. So i can’t tell you any other ways to try it.

Sorry could help you much.

thank you

Hi,
i had a similar looking Mp4 Player i upgraded the firmware. Now it is dead any help PLs

Reply from Prasanth

I hope you backed up the firmware as i mentioned in the blog post. If not there is not much i can help you with, because my player has died long time back.

Try and install the firmware again, Some times its just needs one or two tries. Mine too blacked out like that and after another try it worked. This can also happen if you used the wrong firmware. Hope you have a back up.

Thank you

i’ve LG RD-3100 fm set and i want to know that any USB drivers will be available for that mob.

Reply from Prasanth

You can find the pc sync program on this site http://www.lgmobiles.com/

Select which type of mobile you have, if its cdma or gsm and download the program.

Once you install that program it should automatically install the usb drivers for the mobile phone.

Thank you

Hi Prasanth
Somedays back I got my second MP4 (nano look a like) player from China through one of my friend and previous one worked very well and also had 8GB memory and I was able to play all my video,songs and photos on it. This one also is working fine but only till 7 some songs and I have formatted it almost 20+ times using GUI based command as well as DOS command.In DOS mode it showed 8137 MB of space.When I tried formatting it with FAT format it gave error that FAT 16/12 does not support as volume is large.then I formatted it with FAT32 and it got formatted fine.When connected to notebookit is showing 2 drives with 7.99 GB and other very small capacity.I also loaded it with 6 GB of data and when retrieved it on my notebook, data remained same and also all files were working fine in my notebook.If I load an AMV file with 400MB + size and play the file in player the file is running perfectly .But problem comes when I load some more files with,it will play first AMV file but then for other file it will show 00:00:00 and gives format error.Also for songs it will play first 7 songs and then it will restart again automatically.Could u plz tell me whether this has got Memory size of 8GB or less and if I connect it to my notebook again and try playing the songs then only first 7 songs are working and other songs are not working on my notebook and message says that they are corrupted and they appear ‘n’ number of times I connect it to my notebook .Could u help me in finding the issue with this player.I don’t mind using this as a storage device cz I got this for the price less than 8GB USB drive.

Thanks in advance.

best regards
Amit

The fact that two disk show up on your computer is the proof that the fake memory still exists.

the players memory could be somewhere around 512 mb or so that is why your 400 mb file and other songs are playing.

to test it put only few songs and see if it can play more than 7 songs. Put like 30 to 40 songs. if it can then the problem is with the fake memory.

if it can’t then the firmware has some issues.

you seems to have done everything you can to format the player. these players are getting more and more clever and it seems harder to get them formatted correctly.

I recently just gave up formatting a player and went ahead and bought a Philips SA 3025 2GB original which can play videos, pictures and fm radio. It even can record songs from fm radio and had an inbuilt battery that is very good. And it cost me 3000 Rs with 1 year warranty.

I think this is the better way to go than mess with these 1500 Rs players that work half the time, and half the time you spend dealing with the problems.

sorry couldn’t help you much

thank you

Hello Prasant,

I am pleased to inform you, this morning tried the PMP in my freinds computer whose OS is XP, and with a light of joy it immediately showed up in My Compter as removable drive. My heartiest thanks for your tiny little clue.

The sad part is that I could not establish freindship between my computer and the PMP. The happiest part is that the PMP is in working condition and my little daughters smile has broaden up.

Leaving today with a request, if you can find any means to operate the stuff in my PC please let me know.

Once again thanks to you and best regards.

Debdas Dutta.

Good to know that you got it working finally. It could also be that your device could be a usb 2.0 device and windows 98 doesn’t know how to deal with that.

thank you
