Thanks for trying to help me
bluebrother:
still sounds to me like a flat battery and your charging doesn't work (have you tried if the wall socket is ok? Something like that happened to me once. Try a different socket or a different device, like a usual lamp).
Edit: can you boot with the power adaptor connected? It should boot into the iriver firmware in that case.
Llorean:
He said that booting with the power adapter wasn't working. I guess I'd assume the adapter was dead too, plus a dead battery.
soap:
This being the holiday time of year, mini-light bulbs, the kind that come in cheap strings for decoration make (individually) a poor-man's low voltage tester in a pinch.
If you don't have a Fluke (or lesser other multitester) available, you can carefully remove one of your spare bulbs from the plastic base ring, straighten the two wire leads from the glass bulb, and touch the wires to the contacts of your iRiver charger. Depending on the rating of your bulb you might only get a dim glow, but a dim glow tells us more than we know now.
mlind:
What if only the LCD is broken in some way?
Do you have a remote (with LCD)?
Also: Somtimes I don't hit the reset button right (with paper clip) at once, but have to try a few times.
...for what it's worth...
