X5V - can't remove Rockbox

Just making sure and clutching at straws - this is with a DC charger plugged into the subpack?
If you say though that it goes into charging mode then it probably is, I just saw a small chance that it could be a USB charger.

This is really the last thing I can think of at the moment short of "maybe there is something wrong with your player". :-\

gevaerts:
Clutching at straws seems to be fashionable, so I'll have a go as well:

Is the filesystem clean? I could imagine that subtle filesystem corruption could make the FIRMWARE directory on the player "invisible" for the upgrading code in ROM. Maybe try to verify that.

Bob_49.95:
I've just taken the step of re-formatting the drive..

Once done, I created a folder called FIRMWARE. Copied the Cowon x5v bin file to it. Detached from usb, player said 'Goodbye' and switched off. Plugged in the charger ( connected through the subpack thing )

'Charging' is what it says, still..

Going to install Rockbox on it, then do some battery tests.

( can anyone confirm if 'Time Left' on battery bench is in HH:MM? )

Thanks all,
Bob

According to the code, it looks like the 'Time Left' is HH:MM

Bob_49.95:
Cheers for confirming the HH:MM

I de-soldered the battery after the most recent shutdown, it measured around 3.9v, so looks like something in the unit is misreading the available battery power. When I run the player on the AC power supply it works fine, but on the battery it's all a bit sensitive, if you pick up the thing it'll just a soon shut itself down. Press the start switch up and Rockbox complains about 'battery too low' and closes again. Try again and it'll work....

So, can't re-flash to Cowon and available battery power general confusion, does that point to a wonky eprom or something?
