Coby mp610 says file sys err

Hello,
There's a firmware update for File Sys Error for the MP610.
Go to the support site:
http://www.cobyusa.com/?p=support

Enter MP610 in the Product Search bar: All support for this player shows up.
Select and download the Firmware Update. After the download unzip the file and read the pdf file for instructions to solve the display malfunction.

Here are instructions for a solution to your Coby 610 File System Error problem.

Replacing the firmware of your Coby 610 MP3 Player will unfreeze it and help it act normally again. This will also fix the 'File System Error' that has been popping up with some Coby 610 players. You can find it at the cobyusa.com website by choosing 'Mp3 & Portable', then 'Mp3 & Mp4 Players', then your model 'MP610', from the support page. Or, here is the direct link to the file from Coby's servers.



Unpacking the zipfile from the Coby Website will give you a PDF file with instructions, and a program file to run.

Your music will be erased when you run this firmware update. The instructions suggest that even if your mp3 player won't startup properly, if you plug it into your computer you should be able to access it as a removable disk, and copy all your music to a temporary folder on your computer.

Here are the steps:

1. Plug your MP610 into your computer.
2. Copy all your music to a temporary folder.
3. Disconnect your MP610 from your computer.
4. Disconnect as many USB devices as possible from your computer (to simplify identifying the MP610 at a later step, and avoid damaging other devices by trying to load the MP610 firmware into them by mistake.)
5. Run the Firmware Update program 'MP610 T LCD Firmware Update for file sys err.exe'
6. You will see a screen with up to 24 numbered, empty boxes.
7. Connect the MP610 to your computer. It will show up in one of the boxes.
8. Once the MP3 player shows up, click on the Firmware Feature icon to start the firmware upgrade.
9. After the firmware update is complete, you will receive a checkmark in the firmware box.
10. Disconnect the MP610.
11. Close the firmware update software.
12. Turn on the 610 to confirm it starts up and the display reads 'COBY'.
13. Plug it back into your computer and copy your music back on to it.

I hope that helps.

Download that. It contains a firmware update that is meant to fix the "file sys err" problem. I got it directly from the Coby website and it works perfectly.
