Thomson PDP2812 5Gb

ok one possible cause is the corruption of the system, if your windows was been failed to load before and you have just reset it or pressed the button to turn it off, then their is a big chance that the system file of your windows might be corrupted. Try to run chkdsk under safemode environment. Type on RUN>CMD>under CMD environment type CHKDSK /R wait until it finish, it takes a while to finish because the system is trying to fix lost clusters or corrupted files. Hope it helps thanks.

Hi! I've just finishing dealing with this on my Go720.
Symptoms - freezes during startup and can not turn off.
Tried resetting - but this only turns the unit off. When it tries to restart it still freezes during startup sequence.
So - connected to PC and ran TomTom HOME2. I had backed the unit up only a few month previous, so I tried to do this. However, it threw an error on this procedure. I then thought that perhaps I could erase the memory contents and reinstall the contents of my backup folder. However, playing safe, I first wanted to do a dump of all my files on the units internal memory. Halfway through this I had an error message saying that one file was corrupt and could not be read. The file was clmdata. So ... after more researching the web I read that the file clmdata has been blamed for this freezing problem. I examined my Go720 internal memory and tried to overwrite the corrupt clmdata with the one from my backup set. That failed as the file was corrupt. In windows explorer then deleted the clmdata file but all this did was generate a file of 0 bytes with the original name. However, I now tried again to restore the unit with TomTom HOME, and this time it worked. Unit is fine now! From what I've read, you may not need to use the restore function, but just delete (or try to delete) the clmdata file, and the unit recreates it when it restarts. Best of luck!

Hello,

the answer is yes. Your mp3 player is corrupted. It must have gotten virus from the computer you used in download songs to it.

The start-up files of the OS (Operating system) of your player is corrupted.

To fix this, you need to do a firmware update. The previous version will be deleted and a newer one will be installed. By so doing, your player will be back to normal.

Good luck.

your hard disk has some eror it must need fixing.u can format your harddisk with win xp recobery disk.

Can anyone help me solve a problem with my Thomson DT16300? The orange light stays on. The fan comes on and off at the back. There is no picture and I can not programme it. I have tried rebooting but can't get it working apart from the orange light coming on and the fan starting up.

If you have a Thomson DT16300, here's a handy fix that address freeze ups, lack of reception and problems on your Hard Disk:

goto MENU screen
goto SETUP screen
goto HELP screen
At HELP screen, Enter 1397 - this accesses the engineer panel - you can reformat the HDD in this menu - you will lose all recorded programmes and planned recordings but it clears locked or corrupted files

OR - at the HELP screen, press the GREEN button

On the lower half of the screen youwill see 3 options:

Blue - Reformat HDD - clears all the memory/HDD - useful if you have a corrupted file - you will lose all recorded programmes though

Red - reset the whole box to factory settings - good if you have a locked box or reception problems or cannto scan for new channels. It goes back to when you bought the box, so you will have to input favourites and planned recordings again

Yellow - Software revert - allows you to go back to the previous software driver - you may lose new functions, but you can always restore it back again using the same feature

Have you tried resetting the unit? Does it do the same thing after being reset?

I don't know exactly which model of the Thomson Lyra you have, but you can visit the Support page on their website, find your particular player model, and download software updates that might help solve this problem.

I had same issue and found a law office that filed a class action against RCA/Thompson. Here is the result:

Thank you for contacting David P. Meyer & Associates Co., LPA about the action our law firm filed against Thomson regarding RCA mp3 players. The matter was settled on behalf of the individual Plaintiff and the lawsuit was dismissed on October 10, 2007.

If you have a hard disk drive player that is experiencing a file error corrupt or similar error and you meet certain requirements, you may be entitled to a replacement unit at no cost to you. You must contact Thomson at 1-800-587-5518 no later than December 31, 2007.
