Dane-Elec and their Custom European Firmware


Attention! The Meizu miniPlayer distributed by Dane-Elec in Europe under the name "Meizu by Dane-Elec" has a special customized firmware where:
  1. The volume limit is set to 33 rather than 40. This is to comply with European volume regulations.
  2. The FM Radio is disabled. This is to bypass an import tax of 10% that the EU has on devices with FM Radio.
Upgrading the Meizu by Dane-Elec with official Meizu Firmware will remove the volume limit and enable FM Radio but will result in the voiding of the warranty. Therefore, Meizu advices you not to upgrade/change the firmware.

This does officially suck.
On the other hand, since they will provide their own updates, I think there is no way of knowing I flashed with the meizu firmware.

That's weird, the reseller (in the Netherlands) told me this has no impact on the warranty. In fact the advised me to use the firmware from Meizu.
Were did you get this info Err0r?

cheezum.
I bought mine at divxplayer.nl and they told me to use the meizu firmware.

I got an email from dane-elec today:
""3) Yes. An update of the firmware without agreement of DANE-ELEC will void the guarantee."

on the other hand: I read in the meizu forum that the "important tips" on the miniplayer state to visit meizu.com for firwareupgrades. Even with the dane-elec firmware. That looks like an agreement to me...

Fortunately the player did work after the FW upgrade. But where do I find the Dane-Elec FW? The support-site of Dane-Elec pretty much sucks.

I dont think it keeps some sort of history in the board but anyway, hope everybody think about this twice before upgrading and avoiding warranty.
