Question about iRiver PMP-120 Digital Media Player

Firmware installation crash

HI, i really need help on this case. I bought a used pmp 120 from eBay. It comes to me with the firmware 1.12 but when i start it it said BOOT FAILURE. I found on the internet how to repair it and all is gone well. I dece ide at that moment to put a new firmware 2.04 on it, it began to install, all is ok but in the middle of installation the battery die and the player shut down. Now, im unable to restart it, seem like he is completely dead. Ive try the reset button, i charge it for over 15 hours with the usb cable and with the power adapter but he didnt start again. Ive also try to take the battery out but that didnt change, he didnt restart. Thanks for your help!!!!

Iriver x20 - freezes and wont show as a connected device to pc

When you connect the PMP to the computer does it say your new device is ready for use or something else like 'the device has malfunctioned'?

I have the same issue that frequently the computer won't see the PMP. Keep trying it sometimes works. If not then its likely that the harddisk is dead or dying.

Boot failure

1st go to Ihttp://www.shamrockman.net/ and dload the version you want to run. My PMP shows 1.23 but I couldn't find that version so I now run 1.24.. Save the dloads in a new folder on your computer.. There should be (7) items that dload to your computer.

*** I have found that just copying the files to your PMP Player will NOT work.***

I had to delete ALL (7) of the system files and folders.
1.) BMP folder
2.) etc folder
3.) system file
4.) (4) "Version-[0x..... " files..

So there were (7) items I had to delete. Once deleted go to the folder you saved the dloads to. I had to click and drag each item to the drive your PMP player is connected to. Once all (7) items have been placed on your PMP player disconnect it, turn off the power, wait a minute and turn it back on. These steps worked PERFECTLY for me. Please let me know in this forum if this helps..

Thanks..
