Problem when power on my mini player

11-21-2006

Hi,

First, i am french so excuse me for my poor english.
I have receive my mini player yesterday.
It is the black SP version.
But during a transfert, my M6 is shutting down.
Now, when i press power on button there is no action (no flash light). I try the hard reboot ( holded >> and press power on) and there is no action.
When i plug my mini player on pc, it is charging (the screen display the battery) so i hope that the screen isn't died.
Is someone can help me please ?

so the screen isnt dead? hmm strange...
maybe try holding the enter button for more then 10 seconds, more like 20-30 seconds.

I will test it in a few moment...

So I press the enter key about 5 or 6 min and there is no screen flash. Maybe I have a problem with my battery. How can i test it ? But it's only an assumption. I know that all the buttons are ok because when the mini player is charging, when i press the keys, there is the little sound for each one.
When i plug my mini player on my computer, holding forward and power on buttons, there is a little screen flash but nothing else...
Please help me because I'm so sad whereas i think it's a little problem (no hardware problem except perhaps the battery)...
If i can avoid to return my mini player...
Another question : it's possible to change my firmware whereas my player is in this state ?

Thanks you for your help.

I had teh same problem at first

for me a factory reset worked but most ppl do the factory reset wrong
here in short steps:

1) press and HOLD the FF button
2) Press and HOLD the powerbuttton untill the unit powers on
3) Keep that FF pressed for 15-20 seconds

a yewllow/green green will appear saying your Meizu is formatting
After that... the player should be in its original state again and should work

Also, are you sure yourplayer shuts down during transfer and doesnt just turn of teh screen?
If it shuts down during transfer try using another USB port.
My computer has one USB port that doesnt seem to power external stuff well...

just suggestions!
goodluck with it!

I try the hard reboot but i have the same problem. On the step 2 as Job describes, even if i press FF and enter keys, my mini player don't want to start. I give up to press keys after 2 min. So i never see the little screen flash.

About USB port, i think there is no problem because i can charge my mini and i can see the icon on the screen while it was plugged in my pc.

Thanks Job for your suggestions and i would be happy if you would made anothers.

hmmm thats odd..

so the miniplayer doesnt power n AT ALL unless its plugged into the PC?
how about connecting it to the PC and then trying the reset?

just going out on a limb here though...

ps: You dont have the Hold Button on right? :P

Was this just a typo? Or did you mean that you pressed FF and power keys? If you look at step 2, you'll see that you need to press FF and the power key -- not the enter key.

I'm sorry, it's a careless mistake but i press power on button with FF one to hard reset my player... This problem is really hopeless.

Thanks for your help.

There is an improvement : i manage to hard reset my player... Holding FF and power on keys, i plug in my computer with USB cable and the yellow screen appairs (Formatting, please wait). Now the language of my player change into chinese (perhaps!) because when it is in charging mode, i see the battery icon but an "asiatic" text... But when i disconnect USB cable, i can't start my player. Now, i am in the same state that i was before the hard reset...
Don't you think i have a battery problem ?
I think it's not drain because when i plug the usb cable, it's full in less than 1 hour...
What do you suggest now ?
