MP3 Mega player 515- USB cable problem

Hi,
I have lost my USB cable for the Mega Player 515 model and I am looking for a replacement. However, I don't know which cable to choose. There are several options out there in the market and I couldn't find any description in the product info page. I am planning to buy the "USB A to Mini-B 5 pin Cable" , please tell me if this is the correct one???? Any specific brand is recommended ?
Your answer is appreciated in advance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right. You need a USB A-male to B-mini-Male. Not sure about what brand. Any should do.

Mega Player 515 "Reading" Problem

Has anyone experienced problems with the Mega Player 515 (256MB) hanging during connection to a PC? It also causes windows (XP & 2000) to freeze up as well (until you disconnect the player).
I've just bought one and was copying some MP3s onto it using Windows Explorer when it just froze up during a file transfer, with "Reading" on the display (normally it says "Connected"). There was still plenty of spare memory (32MB) left. After disconnecting the USB cable, the player plays the songs fine and my PC unfreezes, but the same thing happens as soon as I plug it in again. There is no mention of the term "Reading" in the manual.
The only way to get it to connect to my PC was to delete all the songs manually from the player's menu and start again. After trying this, the player froze again after downloading only 67MB!!
I have the latest firmware (vers 2.08) and have tried the player on another computer; with the same result. Any help here?!!

I had the same problem. My firnware is newer though - 3.00.13
After trying to copy files to it froze, I then restarted my PC. It no longer is recognized by windows and does not want to start. I think the firmware is corrupted.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Mega Player 515 dead after firmware update

I've just updated my mega player 515 with the latest firmware V3.00.12.. everything seemed to be working until I selected the new "playlist"-item in the player-menu and it turns off.. whatever I do it wont turn on again, the computer cant recognize it anymore either.. what to do? please help!

Same thing just happened to my 515.
Updated to the new firmware (V3.00.12). All worked okay, I uploaded some music, played no problem, until I went into the playlist.
The thing just froze on the folders list. Can't turn it off and the PC won't recognise it.
Waiting for the battery to run down, now to see if that works.
Will let you know, but if anyone has any ideas .......

Mega player 515

Can anyone help?
My mega player 515 won't work with my PC. I'm running XP and when I try to transfer my wma files onto the player I get one of several windows error messages and the player shuts down and disconnects from the PC!
I don't know where the problem lies, cos I can transfer my files onto the player using my sister's PC (also using XP)!
The player works fine otherwise, and has the latest firmware on it already.
I just had a new hard disk put in my PC yesterday, so surely the problem doesn't lie there?!
Any suggestions are welcome! I've tried everything I can think of

I have two solutions for your reference!!
1. Please pressing "FM / A->B key" + "REC key" meantime, and it will power off, open power and try again!!
2. Update correct firmware and try again!!
Please do according to firmware update procedure of the following:
1.Please download and install the latest firmware(v3.00.13) and driver!!(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/ia/ia/pro_ia_detail.php?UID=564)
2. After firmware unzipping, it will show some files, please replace driver installation files (C:\Program Files\MSI\MS-5515)
3. Please press sustained “play key” first, then plug your mega player 515 in your PC.

MSI Mega Player 515 screensaver

I recently bought a Mega Player 515 and it's great except one thing: The screensaver is always in the way. When I want to go to the next song, I have to press twice to get acces to it. Also, when I want to see which song is currently playing, I need to push on a button first. Is it possible to turn off the screensaver?
I hope this is possible,
Thanks in advance,
Stefan.

it does not save much battery power
Indeed . I wonder why they added one aswell, or maybe just for the fun... Anyways, I went to the settings, but I only have these options:
EQ
Repeat
Power off
Record rate
Language
Startup logo
Timer
The Startup logo option only allows me to choose a logo and power off only allows me to choose to automatically turn it off after x minutes. If someone had the Firmware (2.0.8) without the screensaver (if it excists), it would be great.

USB Cable problem with HP Photosmart 7960 printer

This may sound like a stupid question but I just bought a new 7960 printer to replace my old 7960 which has two out of the three ink cartridge holders broken and the usb port on the new printer won't accept a usb cable. It appears to be blocked by a cap insert over the connector prongs which will not come out. Any suggestions?

Here is a link with some troubleshooting steps that may help to solve the issue you are having with your printer:

Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable PROBLEM

I had my iPhone plugged into my Mac book at the coffee shop this weekend using the dock connector to USB cable. After a while, I kept getting a message on my phone that said "This accessory is not compatible with your device. Would you like to turn on Airplane mode?"
I thought this was odd since the connector was an Apple product; I've never seen this message before, and I've had my iPhone plugged into my laptop several times before.
I didn't think anything of it, so I kept selecting 'No' after getting this message repeatedly. I had no reason to question the integrity of my iPhone or its accessories since I don't misuse or mistreat anything ever.
After a while, I looked down and noticed white smoke coming out of where the cable connects to the phone! I immediately unplugged everything and noticed the burnt and melted section of the connector part and in the phone itself. I left my phone unplugged until I could get to the Apple store.
I have to say, I believe these cables are not made very well. Luckily, the Apple store replaced my phone and my cable for free without any hassle. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Is Apple doing anything about this?
-Still an iPhone fan.

Doing anything about what ? Other people's faulty computers which go over voltage and fry iPhones ?
The initial message you got is indicative of a short circuited or dirty dock connector so it was probably dirt on the connector or iPhone which caused the problem. No they aren't likely to. I've never heard of this before but I am glad they replaced your iPhone so swiftly !

4-pin and 6-pin USB cable- problems

Hi guys,
my original 6-pin Apple USB cable has often been used and thats what it looked like. So I bought a non-Apple USB cable. I noticed, that it has only 4-pins and it doesnt work with my 3G. The strange thing is, that it works great/as good as the Apple one on his 3G. I know that you`ll probably sugest buying a real Apple one, but they were to expensive for me.

CA-42 SOLVED USB CAble Problem !

Here is the answer to many CA-42 Cable problems people are having.
First, Nokia says you must use their cable. NOT! The problem with the Chinese cables I found is the pins are not even. With a file, file down the pins so they are all the same length. With 1 or 2 pins longer than the others, the remaining pins do not make contact. Do not file down the longer ones any farther than the short ones. It will work !
It works. I have been trying to get this resolved for 3 days. Filed the pins so

Try uninstalling PC Suite, and also the Nokia Connectivity Cable drivers from Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs).
Then download and install the latest version of PC Suite with the latest cable drivers from:

Can my ipad be hooked up to a smart tv or blue ray player by USB cable, in order to watch programs online?

WWould like to watch movies and shows from online on my bigger tv screen, is this possible if I use the USB cable from my iPad to either device? If yes, can someone tell me how to do this?

You purchase an adapter from Apple. The cable plugs into the charging port and provides HDMI output which you connect to your TV. The USB cable will not work for your purposes.

Mega Player 515 issues

I got into the sub-menu "playlist", after uploading some new wmas... Now the whole unit has frozen. I can't turn it off, or reset it. When I plug it into the USB port, nothing happens. Now i'm waiting for the batteries to run out, which can take days for all I know...
Can anyone help?
Also, I'm having a problem with the song sorting within the player itself. Songs appear to be sorted at some random factor, but always in the same order, no matter how many times i upload. It's really annoying. I deleted any metadata from the wma files, so they should be sorting alphabetically by filename, right?
This does not happen if the numbers by which to sort are the first characters in the filename, only if there is something before them. As if the player can only sort up to a certain point of characters....
WHAT TO DO???

Well one thing you can do is to take a wait and see attitude to any updates. Ask here to see if anyone has tried a given update and what it did. I am sure folks will share their experience. Flash or firmware updates are something you want to have a care with as this can kill a device if it goes wrong. However MSI is also great when it comes to fixing stuff that went wrong. I have had a MB that had to be RMA'd over a Bios flash issue and a MS-516 over a firmware update that also went very wrong. MSI do stand behind things very well but still it is best to get someone's opinions before you jump into a change on that first.
No worries and I hope that helps to clarify things a bit. We just can't answer for MSI directly. Stu was just trying to point out that we aren't MSI but rather a User to User forum so we can't address MSI's tech support directly.

Yes... i have encountered the same usb data cable connnectivity problem with my current N73ME and my old N70. At first it detects pretty fine but after a couple of months its hard to get any symbols either in phone or in PC Suite. I think this is a very common problem for every POP-Port data connectivity. Whether in my new N95 and 5200 has mini usb which is pretty less error in this regards. Why nokia uses such rubbish connectivity solution for such a robust multimedia phone like N-series whereas all the other company uses miniusb which is much much less problem. Nokia plz think on that...

Mega Player 515 - LOCKED - HELP

Wow, back after 4+ years. Hilarious (and awesome) to see my solution is still sticky up there:P
Anyway...
A couple of weeks ago, my ancient (but beautiful) 515 started locking up whenever I turn it on.
Meaning, regardless of whether the actual LOCK is in place, regardless of number of songs, FAT/FAT32.
It locks up like 99/100 times and then it turns on like nothing happened. I can't isolate the reason... Any ideas?
It shouldn't be due to the LOCK key as it's not loose at all, and when the player is actually on it can stay on for hours/days with all the keys perfectly usable. It helped me a couple of times to do a full format, recopy all of my songs and disconnecting it first using the XP "removable hardware" interface and then unplugging it. Obviously I can't do a reformat and recopy every time I want to use it, and even that only helps about 1/10 times.
Also, I don't want to keep it on and plugged in the whole time so as not to wreck the battery/OLED, and even then we're ignoring the times when I have to actually copy new stuff to it (which turns it off upon unplugging).
Any ideas? Thanks a bunch.

OK, I just reverted back to 2.000.008 firmware and everything appears to be working as normal. I tried turning it off/on several times and no LOCKED message.
Maybe after all the shaking while running, the firmware gets shaken and stirred?
Later I'm gonna try getting the newest firmware back and see if the issue was with that, maybe the player can't handle the new firmware anymore due to its age:P
In any case, maybe this helps other people with the LOCKED issue.
I'll do an update when/if problems start occuring again.
