Clip Zip probably bricked.

lvrhs:
Hi, i tried to rockbox my zip. I done it, but when i removed from pc it still was running standart firmware. Then i tried to rockbox again, and now my zip doesnt even turn on.
Whats the problem. I was using automatic installation.

saratoga:
You should give a lot more detail if you want help. But first I would hold power for one minute and try to reboot it.

tent:
it happened to me as well when you rockbox it but having for accident the wrong destination drive selected (let's say the zip would be in drive h: but accidentaly you left drive d: selected) then when you reboot it it will brick in the booting up S logo.. so far I'm waiting for some hardware pin "last resort" unbrick procedure to show up...

saratoga:
If you select the wrong drive the installer will simply do nothing to your player.

tent:
well what happened to me is that I found on my "wrong" d: drive the content that should have been put on the sansa (stuff like .rockbox directory etc.), the sansa continued to work correctly until I rebootet it once and then it remained stuck in that situation I described. so far nothing helped to recover: holding any button for several minutes, even unsoldering the battery or connecting to usb like that while holding buttons, etc. as well as waiting months for battery to drain out.. again: my only possibility is to get some hint by somebody who did discovered the famous hardware pins that need to be shorted to recover other sansa drivers, so that maybe I can find them also on the zip and then eventually help the comunity with that information if it will succed. At the moment there appears to be nothing to lose, correct?
