Problem with the MP3 Screen

The screen of my MP3 player went crazy, it lost its colors and now all is displayed in some shades of a water-like color. Can somebody help me?

Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.

Phone screen goes blank to a grey color (externallY) .

same problem, broke my screen, ordered a new screen off ebay and replaced it. now it works fine most of the time but sometimes external display freezes. sometimes goes black, sometimes goes multicolor pixelated (full screen, in blocks, or lines) when this happens sometimes touchpad still works, others not. removing battery usualy temporarily fixes.

Screen Troubles

Sounds like the LCD controller has gone bad - must be replaced.

Try every "soft fix" first to be sure:
*Reset - button on side
*Firmware Upgrade (sounds like you tried it)
*Reformat the player -p.68 of manual - available on iRiver website if lost - enter model as H300 series
*Recovery -
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.
