Broken IHP-140 ?

(1/5) > >>

unkle:
Hi,

it seems my iHP-140 (Rockboxed) will no longer boot... Either in Rockbox or original firmware. It seems to still be able to charge (at least green light is on) but I do not hear the disk spinning at all and booting is not possible...

What are your main ideas ? I would like to keep my old player for a little longer  ;D. How would you test if it is the battery, the disk or something worse ?

Thanks a lot !

LambdaCalculus:
Are you getting any sorts of errors when you attempt to boot? I just recently repaired a friend's iriver H120, and he had similar issues to you.

Davide-NYC:
If you get absolutely nothing on the screen I would worry that the wrong charger was plugged into it thus frying the unit. A dead unit shows a green charging light and nothing more. (I've been there)

petur:
I thought that an iriver with a really dead battery (below safety voltage) would also not boot at all (I think the pcf needs a certain batt voltage before booting, anything below is just charging)

That is correct, apart from the fact that the H100 series don't have a PCF power management chip. ;)

unkle, what did you do with the player before this happened?
