I have RCA lyra rd2840 that says Failed to load files..press reset. Update lyra system files... Then the device turns off. The reset doesn't do anything, my computer cant detect the device.

By the way, the only I did just was Google the internet and look for "RD2840 firmware download"

Best regards,

Unfortunately, the RD2800 Lyra family (RD2825, RD2826 an RD2840) mp3 players have a frequent problem in the battery circuitry, and there are two tiny integrated circuits that are shorted very frequent.

You will need to check the power adapter prior to confirm that the problem is in the RCA mp3 player.

Using a multimeter in DC voltage setting, check the AC power adapter gives a voltage of around 5.0 VDC. If so, then the mp3 player is fried.

The repair involves to opn it, and replace the damaged integrated cicuits. Only a qualified technician with tools and parts cando it.

RCA approved repair centers charge $125.00 for such repair.

If you will look for a cheapest way to fix it, you can contact in ebay to the seller with ID Great_items_2004

Regards,

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

Hi,

You can download here from RCA.

DId u figure out how to solve it ?

I was able to access the play list using Windows Media Player. I was trying to get the computer to recognize the player, and it wouldn't do it. I even downloaded the Lyra Personal Audio Player updater... that didn't work or recognize the player.
Try the programs that are on your computer for playing MP3's.
