repairing sandisk e260v1

(1/1)

esj:
this little beast has been running for months just fine and this afternoon when I turn it on, it lit up with the hardware splash screen and stayed on that splash screen for about 45 minutes. When I finally got home, I could not turn it off without removing the battery. Plugging it into the USB port did nothing except turn on the control ring and its bright blue LED. My desktop couldn't see it as a USB device.

Is this puppy toast? All of my rare and precious bits I downloaded from the Internet are gone?

Let me know whether to try to fix it or to toss it. Many thanks

yapper:
One simple thing to try is open the unit and press down on the board that is behind the display, as it comes loose (especially if you've dropped it like I have a couple of times).

esj:
yaa.  pressed on the flash card and *snap*, it clicked in.  power on and now it is playing!!

better remember this trick or else not drop it.

next trick:  figure out how to transcode dr who to fit on this thing

Chronon:
There's documentation at the PluginMpegplayer wiki page.  It gives instructions on how to transcode.
