Strange problem with my X5L. Cant use it.

Therion · 06-07-2010, 10:53

Hi, guys and as my first post i thank everyone who has ever helped anyone. Its help really apreciated and needed.

Now to my problem. I have been using my X5L for a few years, but now, all of the sudden, (without having tampered with firmware etc), it boots, and opens in the VOICE folder, ready to record something.

Problem is, that i cant get out of it. It doesnt seem to "see" any other folders! If i plug it via USB to the PC, the folders are all there, and the files are working (through the pc via winamp).

I recently updated to the official 2.10 firmware, but it didnt fix this.

Any ideas?

Have you tried the reset button?

Therion · 06-09-2010, 09:10

Yes i have.

It did this once a few days ago, and once i connected it to the pc, added some files etc, then it worked ok for a while. Now it doesnt even do that. It just loads to that VOICE folder screen, ready to record, and on the upper right corner, it says 001/001 which makes me think it doesnt even see other folders

If it wasnt for the 0001/0001 sign on the top right corner, i would think the joystick is not working, as it lately had trouble going LEFT (which is needed to access the upper folders in the tree).

Any suggestions anyone ? Should i try some later firmware than the official 2.10 ?

anybody ?

I'd hate to have to buy a new player, if there's a chance the old one can work :/

I had this problem on a X5, instaling rockbox worked perfectly, but i don't know if this solved the problem (i don't use OF anymore)
