e280r Broken Flash Memory probably (solved, software problem)

<< < (2/3) > >>

macgeek417:
A empty folder works fine too. so... shouldn't pushing down on that rubber brick when you unscrew the metal back fix the problem? When I completely disassembled my Sansa (I got it "bricked" as a birthday present :P) to try to figure out what was wrong w/ it, I noticed that the rubber block is attached to the flash board... maybe that would fix it? I personaly wasn't brave enough to take it off...

ej0rge:
Yeah the rubber block is directly on top of the flash module, right where the connector that attaches it to the main board is. A good squeeze there often does the trick.

But on the off-chance that the flash is now corrupted and maybe corrupted so badly that the OF doesn't load -- if that turns out to be the case, i recommend reinstalling the OF in addition to reformatting so that you can re-rockbox it.

macgeek417:
doing the sansa.fmt trick DOES reinstall OF.

Strange... if dropping it often unseats the chip, why is mine still in working order after taking many 6 ft. falls...

ej0rge:
Oh. OK.

Stephan_Spitfire:
I already reinstalled everything, not the first time I did that, so no problem.

But damn, you Guys are amazing! I long searched for a reason to open my Sansa. ;D This is going to be so much fun. ^^

To join your discussion: I think the hint with the folder is quite good, cause if you create a txt-file and rename it with "hide known file extensions" on, you would end up with a "sansa.fmt.txt".

A folder makes it foolproof.
