Rio Carbon My computer crashed while I was charging my Rio Carbon and I turned off the computer while it was still plugged in. Now I can't turn on the mp3 player and the computer doesn't read it when I plug it in. Is it possible to fix it or do I have to buy a new one?

my rio carbon had the same problem and displayed upgrader all the time if it helps what i did was i cf modded my rio carbon look on google and see if your rio chiba can be cf modded and if that works that would be pretty cool and remember if you have any tech problems or mp3 problems google it and google usually will have an answer have a good day

Go to My Computer. Then open the carbon drive, to view the files. Then delete the ones you do not want.

It sounds like there is a problem with the device firmware..update the device firmware and that should solve the problem you are having...

Try updating the firmware :-) http://www.rioaudio.com/support/rio/product.asp?model=267&SKU=90260554

tr y to get a new battery. but it is tricky to get the old one out so take it to a store that deal with it.

Mine JUST did that and after a while I pressed in the emergency start button on the top in the little hole.

Hi Linda, Your Rio Carbon is telling you that something is messed with its firmware and it can be resolved with an upgrade. You have to determine the exact model of your unit and download the firmware from http://www.digitalnetworksna.com/support/rio/. Again you must choose the exact model. There are two ways of updating firmware updater or internet updater. complete instructions are also available. further you would need to connect your Rio to a PC to perform the upgrade. Good luck and pls post back should you need further information. Kind regards.

im not sure it'll help but something told me when mine said the same thing that the device needed a new driver. what ever that is.
