Dead M6 Meizu

Hi all,
I updated to the latest firmware and all worked ok, but i tried to install a new skin (resource file) which was the wrong version . After disconnecting from the PC the screen went black (powered off i think) and i have been unable to turn it on since.

I have tried all the usual resets and also tried the DFU tools, but the device doesn't get seen by Windows when i connect the USB lead.

Any ideas

Thanks

If you connect it with your PC thhough USB, does it get recognized by your PC?

No, Windows does not detect it when i connect the USB lead.

It's Alive !!

Held down the enter key for about 2-3 minutes and then powered it on.

wow 2-3 min thats a long time, my player also went dead once but it i used DFU tools

Hello!
i got the same problem. Does it works when you press it 2-3 minutes??
Thank you

Use dfu tools it will help fix it

In other topics I read that DFU tools don't work and can really kill the player. My problem is similair. Gonna try the enter button for 3 minutes tonight.

Well I tried everything that was in the facts in chronological order and I feel a great urge to smash this peace of s**t against a wall. I wish I never upgraded my player. 130 euros down the drain. It makes me sick.

Then perhaps you could calm&#1 60;down also, and start thinki ng. Updating never mussed up&# 160;anybody's player, even if  putting the wrong firmware on.  (But if you did that,&#1 60;it'd show a white screen&#1 60;which you never mentioned).&#160 ;So just go to the FAQ&#1 60;and read over all the  posts there and try out s oft reset, hard reset and&#160 ;in last case DFU Tools a s it's described in the F AQ. It might not work on& #160;first try. Soft reset wor ks in about 15 seconds as  opposed to the 2-3 minutes. And have you even tried pressing your play button after doing the soft reset?

EDIT: Oh and tried charging yet?

Maybe if you read my post correctly I already tried everything in the FaQ topic in chronological order. And nothing works. I will be sending it back because I have guarantee on it. And I am calmed down now. :D

unless it broke from physical damage, DFU will work. and it doesnt kill the player, ive used it just about 20 times

20 times? are you serious? i had my first m6 for about a year, and i have an m6sl for 2-3 months and i never had to use dfu tools...

well its really only 2 times but it takes it like 10 tries b4 it works. and just to get my point across clearer, i said 20 instead of 2

ok, 20 was just a little weird, i couldn't imagine how can it go wrong so bad that you have to use dfu tools so many times

I have the same problem but mine is recognized by the pc when pluged, will using dfu tools help mine?

If it's recognized by the PC just put the right firmware files in and restart the player.

i didn't feel like creating another thread but my player has a black screen but is still on, my computer can still recognize the device. what can i do ?

Press the enter button until the player shuts down.

Meizu Me - FAQ: Meizu Mini Player M6 FAQ

i've pretty much accepted my M6 as dead, but here goes.

i've tried all the methods of resets as explained in the FAQS. nothing works.
i've tried to connect the M6 to windows via DFU tools method. did not work. DFU tools could work, but I can't get far enough to work the program :[ (more specifically, windows does not show anything being connected at all).

1. occasionally, when i plug the M6 in via provided usb charger, the screen will flicker white and then the "loading..." screen flashes, then it's blank for a second, then it flashes again and repeats a few times before going back to black.

2. i left the player charged over night several times to make sure that i'm getting a full charge. i've held the play/on button for a few minutes and nothing works. i've left the player connected to the usb cord unconnected to the computer overnight as well. nothing became of these methods.

3. the battery/player gets warm if i do charge it overnight.

my guess is that the battery is scrambled. if any of you can either dissect my problem or know of the steps for me to send it in for repairs, let me know. i bought it off newegg.com in early october. i read dane-elec now has a repair center somewhere in the US.
