Question about Toshiba gigabeat S MP3 Player

2 Answers

Gigabeat has froze completely

Hey all, I've been using the Toshiba Gigabeat MES30VW for over 3 months now with no problems. When I turned it on today the screen is saying "The battery is low. The Portable media center will turn off soon" and them I'm prompted to press ok. I attempted to press ok but no response. I attempted to turn the device off but no response. I attempted to charge the battery but no response. I attempted to hold the power button in hopes of a reset button but no response. Right now the screen is still showing the error message and is not going to stand-by mode. The screen is still on and bright with the error message. Any solutions to this?

Turn off the battery with a toothpick or pencil then turn it back on. You can do this on the bottom side.

Everytime when i switch on my gigabeat f20, it shows this error.NO SYSTEM FOUND ON HDD. i've tried formating but once this error appears, you can't do anything. Sometimes it shows SYSTEM ERROR.
Hi theofrimp109,

This error usually happens when the firmware has been corrupted or deleted. The easiest way to correct this is by updating the firmware. You may also try to restore the firmware data by following the steps below.

1. Connect the gigabeat to your computer using a USB cable.

2. Start Explorer on the PC.

3. Open the folder in which the gigabeat room is installed.
--> The folder in which the gigabeat room is installed can be opened by clicking [Start] [All Programs] [TOSHIBA gigabeat room 2.0] [gigabeat room 2.0
Program Folder]. Usually, the folder will be found in C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\gigabeat room 2.0.

4. If you can't find the folder, please go inside the gigabeat then click on [tools], [folder option], go to [view tab] then select [show hidden files and folders].

5. Now, inside the gigabeat root, copy a folder named "GBSYSTEM" located in the folder that was opened in Step 3.

6. Use "Safely Remove Hardware" and disconnect the gigabeat.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Help! 30 GB Gigabeat won't hold a charge and seems to be wiped :(
Sounds like a built in glitch ... You might want to take it back under manufacturer's warranty and get a completely different MP3 Player/iPod, because it sounds like a scamming item - for $400 I'd demand answers.

It may sound a bit cheeky, but I find reputable models, like Goodmans, JVC and Sony work without a problem, and buying cheaper models with mass GB space would seem a bit too good to be true.

File transfer Problem
Ok, I figured out a solution on my own.

Remarkably simple - all I did was reformat the player again and then reinstall windows media player.

Although in my travels I came across an article which may help users with a similar problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911091/en-us#appliesto

Driver files for Toshiba Gigabeat MES30VW
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

If you reformated the mp3 player's hard drive, the problem probably is that it can't find it's firmware which is supposed to be located on it's hard drive. To fix this, simply copy the GBSYSTEM folder located (usually) in C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\gigabeat room 2.0.2 to your mp3 player's root.

I have a gigabeat s 60, which still runs fine on my old pc under xp pro sp3, but I want to use it on my new computer. I have partitioned it off for use with windows 7 ( no good for this old platform) and xp home to sync the gigabeat, but no driver will work. On the old machine, it is recognised as simply gigabeat s (I don't know where the driver came from) and windows sees it as "storage" on the first branch of the tree, before music, photos, mpegs, etc. Is there a way of transferring the driver over from one machine to the other, or can you identify the source of the driver which works?

Downloaded latest update from Toshiba. When player is connected to PC, says that battery has 0% charge, but the screen still works, even when not connected to charger. How do I load the fix from the PC to the player?
