dont come out nothing just say bad or missing lyra sys folder
, can you help me please. thank you

Try this device using windows 7....if theres any problems with your divice windows 7 fixes them...you need no drivers at all..windows 7 really improved this device

If you have a computer with windows 7 all ur problems will be solved....just plug it in and windows 7 will fix the problems....but one thing it will only run well on 7 so think about changing

goto the rca website and find the latest firmware for your player and download it and reload the firmware that should get everything back to factory defaults

Just Google the internet with "RD2840 firmware download", download the firmware upgrade .exe file, and follw the instructions in upgrading the firmware of it.

Part of the proces is to restablish all the necessary files.

Best regards,

Dear FixYa,
Ohms was helping me, I am guessing that he tried to download some info for the fix.
However, because we have pony express dial-up the material was never fully sent.
Help ! My mp3 is my link to success in triathlons ( got one this sat) I am sunk without the support. Again the error message reads "bad or missing lyra sys folder"
Thanks Jeff
PS Is there a physical address that could put humpdy dumpdy back together again in the SLC or Ogden area.

you need 2 update the software go to rca.com

Go to RCA support http://support.rcaaudiovideo.com/select.aspx?u=downloads and find your player and download the firmware and drivers (if needed) upgrade and install to your player its very easy and instructions are at the same site.

Is it possible you deleted system files along with other files by mistake? It's a very common problem, and it would be good to know what causes this since some people say its because the Lyra allows you to delete system files which screws the device. I heard of someone that called Thomson helpline with this problem and got his replaced, so it wouldn't hurt to try. RCA has this page on the problem: http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/Cultures/en-US/RLDetail.html?ArticleNum=112&PC= It might help... And there's this program that is said to help with the formatting, get it here along with some instructions: http://www.techolio.com/rd2780_upgrade/ Good luck!
