I recently purchased an as-is JBMM 20 on ebay. Not the best idea! Needless to say it doesn't work. When I removed it from the box and pressed "On" the red light came on for a few seconds and then went off. I charged the batteries overnite (green lite comes on although no screen action)and although the red lite remained on a while longer still nothing. I removed the batteries and tested (4.5 to 5.0v) re inserted although this time upside down and low and behold the little screen lit up, although very briefly before shutting off. I tweaked the terminals in the JB and cleaned the contacts on the batteries and re-inserted. I can get the screen to flicker and stay on for about 6 or so seconds before it apparently shuts down. I can't seem to get beyond that. I have tried the many different configurations of "Power/F1" , "Power/Play" and some creative ones of my own! I have ordered a 44 pin to 40 pin hd adapter and would like to test the hd with my desktop and replace it if I have to although wanted to simply chat with you guiys in the know to see if you might recommend something. What should I be looking for if the hard drive is operational? If I relace the hd do I simply install Rockbox or Archos OS firmware? What else can go wrong? Thanks in advance - Todd _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-08-16 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
