Okay, I tried to "unbrick" the player, but apparently I'm one of the unlucky few that those steps didn't work for. I got a -
"Load main image failed
Switch to Recovery Mode" -
screen after the Sansa logo after each step. I did follow the instructions exactly. I can still go into recovery mode, just none of those steps are working.
I checked some old threads, but they were VERY old, and I don't believe I'm having exactly the same issues.
Any ideas?
