[SOLVED] Sansa Fuzev1 Not Booting

(1/2) > >>

Giggles:
Hello all, new to this forum.  I have a Fuzev1 that I've been using RB on for about 3 months.  I recently reformatted the disk and used the RB Utility to install 3.8.1.  Since then I have had problems getting the Fuze to accept file transfers.  It will switch to read-only after it has been plugged into the USB for ~5-10 seconds.  I've tried two different Linux Distros as well as XP.  Now, this morning it stopped booting.  When it's switched on it says Scanning disk... then after about 15 seconds it goes white and says ANIC*  kov main.  I'm guessing that there's two characters on the left getting cut off and it should read *PANIC* stkov main.  The computers won't recognize it and I can't get it to boot at all.  Is this player bricked, or is there something I can do to fix this?


Thanks for any help anybody can offer.  Sorry for the wall of text, but I wanted to get all the information possible out there.

I would suggest checking the disk for filesystem corruption.

How do I do that if the computer is not recognizing the player?

bertrik:
You can hold a button during booting to make it boot into the original firmware. Then should be able to access the Fuze again over USB. The user manual tells which button to hold during booting.

Brilliant!

Thanks a ton.  May seem real simple to you folks, but I did actually look for a while before posting and I was hitting dead ends.

I really appreciate your work and your taking the time to help me out.
