H120 Frozen

[jesselussier]

I have an H120 that won't boot up. When I press the power button the initial iriver logo will appear and then it'll just stay like that till the power runs out. It won't connect to the computer because of this. It has been rockboxed.

Does this sound like the hardware is fried? Or is it possibly a rockbox problem that can be fixed by updating the rockbox to a new build?

I've looked through other posts, and haven't found one that is exactly like this problem, so if there is already a post that answers my question that I haven't found I apologize in advance.

wrong forum, I guess.

Have you try reset button on your player?

[jesselussier]

Oh yeah, I'm a bonehead (regarding forum). I was resonding to something else about an H320 and it stuck in my head I guess. No doubt a nice mod will come along and fix my mistake.

The reset button does not work. I think it may be busted.

I guess you've tried holding the record button in when turning on ,so asto boot to original firmware.

Yeah, I took out the HD, put in a different one with the same result. I put the other HD in the other player, uploaded a new build of rockbox, put it back in the first player and got the same result. Just pulls up the iriver screen and sits there. Oh well, HD is still good and I think the battery is too, so I'll probably sell it. Thanks everyone for your help.

im sorry to hear about this! a really scary thread if you ask me. my players been acting a little sluggish lately because of there only being 3 mb free space. i should clear some space up. or else i might make a thread of my players demise too good luck with the sale though!

Thanks wolfman. I actually bought it used cause I have another player who's buttons don't work. I bought it on ebay and the guy said the HD was shot, but the MB was fine, but I guess he got it backwards. Oh well.
