No green screen

Rebel_lord · 10-04-2008

Hi,

I've been scratch my head over this for the longest time now.

Anyway I finally got the DFU tool to work for me and when I used the newest 2.004.6 (or something like that) firmware, it'd get stuck on the Enumerating... part.

So I decided to try the oldest firmware 1.009 for the player and DFU works great ... runs through without getting stuck on Enumerating...

But the problem is still the same. I don't get to the green screen. When I push the power/play key, the screen flashes quickly once (as if it's trying to initialize) and then ... nothing.

Any ideas? I've run the DFU tool multiple times with the newer firmware and I think I'll try a few times with the older one.

P.S If you happened to brick your M6SP, pop off the back casing, undo the 2 screws, lift up the main board slightly exposing the ribbon cables, undo the tiny latches securing ribbon cables to the mainboard and remove the cables and just let it sit for 5 minutes.

Then put it all back together and try the instructions on the FAQ sheet again.

I bricked my M6SP when I accidentally lost grip on the player and let go of the button while DFUing.

but it works now so I thought I'd pass that tip on

Oops can someone move this to the technical subforum? I thought I was there when I was posting

Why on earth did you use DFU-tool before it was bricked????

Are you using DFU for normal fw-updates or am I missing something here??

I had this on and off white screen and it wouldn't connect to the PC except using the DFU tool.

and then it went from bad to worse when my fingers slipped ... but it's better now ... kinda

Great info, thanks for passing it on.

Seriously, what is the point of these, well, pointless posts?

Rebel_lord · 10-08-2008

Uh well I'm still unable to boot up the green screen to put on the firmware to flash.

DFU Tools runs and works ... but it doesnt fix my M6

Not exactly pointless...Oh and you are not supposed to get a green screen. It is supposed to boot right up normally after DFU.

yeah, mine is doing the same thing.. I tried to reboot it and stuff, the screen just flashes on and off (white, black, white, black, etc)
I need my mp3 player before tomorrow, 'cause I'm going on a big trip, so any quick tips to help me out, here?
