XavierGr:
Now that the unit is open, try to resit the HD fist and while the player is open turn the it on to see if it will start without problems.

Sometimes resitting the HD will make the trick.
If not try to resolder those parts that Linus said. (though I don't know what to say if you can't reach those joints)

hellokitty:
I found this at misticriver:

by jhebert:

"I pulled the entire mainboard out (still connected, just opened up), shot it up with some contact cleaner (DeOxit, the best stuff you can buy, a broadcast engineer once told me) and tried rebooting while gently pressing the USB daughterboard and mainboard together, and viola! It worked! It booted! My baby is *alive*!

So now I face the task of desoldering the whole USB daughterboard (looks like 4 pads and posts, not the tiny multi-pin USB jack itself I originally looked at), shooting a little DeOxit inside the contacts between the two boards, then soldering it back together."

I think he's just talking about my problem.

He wrote nothing new since may this year - so I guess it works for him.

I guess I'll try it that way - fingers crossed !

hellokitty:
Problem solved ! (at least I hope so)

After trying to desolve the two boards for half an hour (my equipment is not quite good...) I decided to arise pressure on the connections instead. So i put paper in the void between the boards an the player's casing. Finally I had problems to close the player again *g*.

But it worked.
 
Now it starts again without any trouble.

Thank you all for your help !

mll:
(sorry for resurecting an old thread, but a search on ata error -11 shows that this is the most documented one)

sorry, but I only found a J1 near the earphones socket. I'm quite new to boards and electronics, but I guess I could check if a onnection is loose or not. so if someone can point me to these J1 J2 J3 and J4 I'd be very grateful

(but wait - we do talk about an H3x0, right ?)

No - this thread is about the H100 iRiver player.

From what I remember the H300 does not have a separate little board for the USB/Hard disk.

Maybe just unplugging and re-connecting the HDD to the connector a the other end of the board may help.
