Opal Flash MP3 Player Stuck at initializing..

Have you tried going to www.rcaaudiovideo.com to update it?

Mines doing the same thing i can suggest trying it on another computer. If that works then you need to install the lastest update of firmware on your mp3. Tell me if that works for you.

What i would recommend is for you to reset the device, after you reset the device if you are still having the same problem try to update the firmware...I hope that helps..

just leave it on for a few days and it will start working by itself, that is what mine did...yeah, I know how it feels.

I had this problem. I had to really try several different things to get the software to recognize the mp3 player. RCA does have download software that will format your MP3 player and put the firmware on the player. It would be better to get the firmware on without formatting if you have files already on it. Just be sure that you get the screen that shows it is connected to USB.
