Rockdoom Crashed Sansa Fuze V2

[jdograpon]

So today, I turned on my Sansa Fuze V2 with Rockbox, and clicked Doom to play some Doom, I got all the way through the main menu, and I loaded a mod called, Fist Full, when I went to open my saved game, it stopped, then gave some errors, now RockDoom has done this before but normally I would be able to just turn it right back on, well I went to turn it on, and it didn't come on, I plug it into my computer, nothing, I think it might be bricked, witch is sort of okay, I want a new MP3 player any way, but it has a lot of music I got from YouTube, so is there any way I can recover it?

Thanks.

Hold the power button for 30 seconds.

I just now tryed that and nothing happend, Do you think it is still running and I just need to let the battery run dry?

Thanks.

Worst case you can do that.  However, its hard to imagine doom does something that prevents the hardware reboot from working.

[jdograpon]

Yeah I don't know, I will keep you posted

Thanks.

[jdograpon]

So I woke up today and nothing has changed, I don't care if its dead that much, but I would like to fix it, so I'll still keep you posted

Thanks.

Nothing new to report, samething, it should be close to dying

Thanks.

An easy way to check if the battery still has power is by plugging in some sensitive IEMs and listening for a "pop". Amplified speakers may also do in a pinch.

Depending on how confident you're feeling, you could always disassemble it and de-solder one of the battery leads.

I wouldn't advise this (at all) if you have no experience with similar tasks, though. The Fuze V1-2 aren't in any way, shape, or form, easy to reassemble without a steady hand, patience, and the correct tools (spudger, 00 phillips precision driver, and insulated long nose tweezers). There's disassembly guides available on teh infowebz if you're feeling up to the task.

Well I forgot to say, it works now, it started working about a week ago, but thanks!

Hi jdograpon,

I didn't see anyone mention it, but the reason RockDoom crashes on Fuzes v1 or v2 is that they don't have enough RAM.  So odds are you will never get past the first level, because level 2 requires too much memory. 

Cheers,
