Hi folks
A new mystery for you guys to ponder...
My iHP-120 won't switch on.
My player will only switch on with the RESET button. It attempts to boot using the original firmware, but gets no further than the iRiver logo...
If I hold PLAY whilst pressing RESET, it tries to load RockBox, gets as far as
Result: 0 but no further...
Both battery and HDD lights are lit solidly as expected (not blinking, etc)
So I plugged it into my PC, switched it on with PLAY + RESET and manage to get it into "Bootloader USB mode"
It takes bloody ages (~1 min) for the drive to appear on my PC but eventually it does, as drive F:
If you try to explore the drive contents, it takes a while before Windows says "The drive is not formatted. Would you like to format it now?"
So I tried running chkdsk on it:
Quote:
chkdsk f: /v
The type of the file system is FAT32
Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode.

Quote:
chkdsk f: /v /f
The type of the file system is FAT32
(after a minute or so pause, a Windows XP's "crashing program" dialog box appears:
Check Disk Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Please tell Microsoft about this problem
etc etc)

What do you reckon? Try formatting the drive? In which case, how do I get original firmware back on there?
Much thanks and appreciation in advance!
