Completely bricked/frozen clip+ any drastic solutions?

(1/1)

happysnail:
My Clip+ freezes on the Rockbox logo and on the Sansa flower if I try to boot into the ofw. I've tried the reseting by holding down the power button and i've let the battery run down twice but to no avail.
If I plug it in on windows while it's at the Rockbox screen I can see an external drive, but it's empty and has 0 bytes of space on.
Is there a backup restore method? or a way to get the computer to recognise the player? At the moment the player is useless, so I'm willing to try anything with it really?
Thanks

saratoga:
What build are you running?

Does Rockbox actually work and play music?

happysnail:
I installed it on June 3rd, so whatever the latest build was then, It no longer says the build - just says "Boot 4.0" above the Rockbox logo and freezes.
Rockbox doesn't work, can't get past the startup screen - it just crashes; same for the original firmware, stuck on the flower logo. It was all fine till it froze when I was listening to a track and I restarted it by holding the power, since then it's completely stuck.
Just wondering if there's a safe mode or a way to get a computer to recognise it as a memory stick or something so I can try stuff with it (even a physical modification), at the moment it's completely bricked and is only good for showing logos - the fact windows half recognised it gave me a little hope (OSX can't see anything) but I got nowhere with it.

saratoga:
On IRC funman suggested holding down the center button with USB inserted while booting to get into the rockbox bootloader USB mode.  Perhaps from there you can recover your file system.
