Broken Toshiba F Series

<< < (2/2)

Chronon:
The bootloader USB may only work through the cradle.  I just tried it just now with a plain cable and it did nothing -- but I'm fairly certain that it works through the cradle.  I was hoping that that bootloader USB mode was stored in code that gets loaded before you see the Gigabeat splash screen.  Just a thought. . .

Mad Cow:
Do the hard drive hot-swap mentioned in the wiki, that always works for me when I screw up the bootloader.

Yes thats the only way to fix your problem basically you open up the gigabeat, de-attatch and attatch the hard drive while pluged into the computer (turned on) so the the computer can pick it up through usb and then put all the system files back on. You might be unlucky and have completly reckt the hard drive like i did on my x30 soo then you would have to buy a new hard drive or a new mp3 player.

The error is usually caused when the mp3 player can not run the bootloader (possibly the bootloader has been deleted, miss placed or renamed wrong). Thus makin it stop half way when booting.

procreator:
Thanks All, I Really appreciate it, I will be attempting the Hot swap this afternoon...

Mad Cow:
When you're removing the top and bottom covers, be careful with those little clips, I broke on yesterday whenopening my player.
