Nothing after "Firmware Problem&qu

Hi there, Ima noob, and I just recieved a second hand Zen touch and thought it was great for the first day. I started by downloading the drivers, no problem, cool now I can manipulate things. Next I downloaded an application, still no problem. I syncronized the player and the computer to try to save some of the music before I started to add and delete. Did not work right, but no worries, most of the music was not of my taste. Anyway here is the deal, I downloaded some mp3's from a file to the player and the computer said it was done. Now it is locked up and after a reset it says "re-building library" and then goes to the "firmware problem" and there is nothing after that. Neither of my computers will recognize the player and nothing seems to work. Can I retrieve this at all, or is it now a 2 day old paperweight?ThanksSteve

Well, see, now that was the problem. I could not understand how to do that. I had clicked on a link and it said to hold the power button while re-installing the battery. So I did and got no where. I may not be the sharpest hook in the tackle box, but Im not completely out of it either. Well long story short, and long searches, and many differing tries, I finally found the detail that I had missed earlier and got to the recovery screen(even that didnt work immediately). It all is working normally (as normal as it sounds like?that they can)?ThanksSteve?

  • Idle power management features on processor disabled due to a firmware problem - after BIOS update

    Hi,
       I did a BIOS upgrade on my E20 - 4220-CTO to 5JKT55A and I started seeing these messages in my System Event log ->
    "Idle power management features on processor 0 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
    "Idle power management features on processor 1 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
    "Idle power management features on processor 2 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
    "Idle power management features on processor 3 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
    The messages occur on each reboot.
    I upgraded to the latest bios 5JKT56A and I get the same messages.
    I was not getting these error messages on BIOS level 5JKT47A(ship from lenovo with this level).
    I updated my BIOS as it was suggested on the lenovo site before doing the win7 SP1 update. Note - I got the error before and after the SP1 update so it's not related to SP1.
    I have not see any additional issues, just the messages in the event log on each boot.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in Advance!

    5JKT58A is the current E20 BIOS.   have you tried it yet?

  • Problems after firmware update 52.0.007

    Hi,
    I got my phone back after the shop fixed a problem and updated the firmware to the latest version 52.0.007.
    But now I have following problems:
    I can't get the calendar anymore to show up on the homescreen, even after checking the checkbox to do so
    The Radio app. is gone
    Does anyone has a solution for this?

    It may sound crazy but sometimes you need to "hard reset" device after firmware update (beware all data erased) by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). Sometimes UDP = User Data Prersevation feature of 5800XM can carry over corrupt entries when updating.

  • Contacts problem after firmware uodate

    After new firmware updating I am facing problems while I am receiving calls. Here in Brazil we need to call someone using area code and operator code. When I receive a call the mobile show me number with only the area code without showing the name of the contact. This starts to happen after firmware updated. Is someone with the same problem? How can I fix that?

    That's odd, what if you delete and re-add the contact?

  • T410i SSD user and master password problem after firmware upgrade

    Hello.
    I have problem with my Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD. After firmware upgrade of SSD my master and user HDD passwords are no longer valid. I'm stuck on BIOS screen and cannot unlock my SSD. After firmware upgrade procedure i got BSOD. Same happened during firmware upgrade on my previous SSD (INTEL X25-M 80GB) but after restart everything was OK. Please help!
    Previous firmware version: 1.3
    Current firmware version: 1.3.3
    SSD connected to another computer shows RAW partition data, but firmware version is 1.3.3 - seems like update was successful.

    My X301 Intel x18 got bricked also after a BIOS update then secure erase (was going to sell it). I plugged it to a USB kit and onto a desktop and it was recognised and able to format. But plugging it back to the lenovo it is still a brick. My lucky star there was warranty it was replaced by lenovo.
    You may want to try it and extract the data, if it works. And hopefully you can still format it and made it work pluggin back to the lenovo.

  • Jukebox 3 - firmware problem even after reinstalling firmw

    Somebody please help! My Jukebox 3 tried to rebuild the library when I switched it on recently, which it has done many times before with no problems, but this time it got part of the way through and just froze. It then eventually came up with "firmware problem". I did a disk clean up but this made no difference. I managed to reinstall the firmware and reset the machine but it still goes into rebuilding the library and still freezes, and then tells me "firmware problem" again. I have reinstalled the firmware twice and this is still happening.
    Can anyone help?!

    No I haven't tried formatting yet - was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to this as I'll have to reload all the files again but maybe it's my only option?
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Were any reboot after sleep problems NOT fixed by the EFI firmware update?

    The subject says it all. I wanted to get a read on whether this EFI update really did solve the reboot after sleep problem for all 2008 Mac Pros. If have an early '08 Pro that had the problem before the update and it didn't go away after the update (and it's not due to some other problem like kernel panics, etc.), then please post details in this thread. thanks!

    We have 4 total systems (all had the issue, all slightly different configurations) and the reboot-on-wake issue has disappeared on all 4 of them.
    Looks like a definitive fix to me.

  • If you are having firmware problems, enter h

    Ok, if you are having firmware problems, like you can do nothing to your mp3 (in my case Zen Vision: M) or you're stuck in recovery mode because you erased your firmware and now you pc isn't recognizing your mp3 and you can't upgrade you firmware, don't worry, I got trought all of it and my Zen is now working =D I had to do a lot of things in order not to loose my mp3, and one of those things was reinstalling my windows xp =/... took me 2 or 3 days to install everything again and put the whole pc in order, but once it was finally done, I was able to upgrade my firmware, so if you are having this kind of issue, you can reinstall you operational system and it'll go back, at last came back with me But before reinstalling it, here a few things you can do: try to reinstall you USB drives, and when I say reinstall I really meant it! Fully unnistall it, get your motherboard cd drive and install it again, before downloading any upgrade for your USB, try it as it comes from the cd, if it doesn't work, then upgrade your USB drive. Since I had to reinstall everything from my computer, that includes that I had to reinstall SP and SP2, so if reinstalling USB doesn't work, you can also unnistall SP and SP2 and see if that can work, although is pretty hard and annoying to do it, if you really like you MP3 and if you don't want to waste more money on it, I highly advise you to do it. So after you reinstall SP, SP2 and USB and your mp3 is still coming up with firmware error, DON'T WORRY! Go to creative.com, look for support, download, and check for firmware download, they have firmware upgrades, mine goes for the name of Creative ZEN Vision:M 30 GB Firmware .62.02, at http://us.creative.com/support/downl...type=4&x=8&y=9 If still none of these settings worked for you, then you can reinstall your operational system, having in mind that althought it was very simple for me (yeah, I know something about computer and I've reinstalled my XP a ton of times), it can get some people into trouble and it can damage your HD if you have no clue on what you're doing. If that's your case, call someone you trust to do it. You can also find some tutorials at the internet teaching you on how to do it. I hope this can help all of you that had the same problem as I did Anything else I can do for you, just ask.YoursMonttanha

    My player is currently stuck in recovery mode. My player isn't supported by the mp3 recovery tool offered on this site. I have been thru 3 micros because of the jack problem. On my 4th episode I finally had a friend that works in computer welding fix the jack for me. It has worked flawlessly for .5 years now until I had this recovery mode freeze happen. I was hoping I would be able to get it going thru the help of Creative or some of the Gurus on this site. Well, I have given up. So, I thought I would go and check out some of the players similar to mine and order a new one. Well I was going to check out a 6 Gig player and they want $250 for it. The new 80 Gig Zune is $250. Not to bring up another player but to me, that is a no brainer. I don't really have any use for a player that big but for the money and what you get compared to what they are offering here, Creative isn't leaving me too much choice. My wife still has a Micro Photo but I guess it will be time for me to step up and try something different. I really like staying loyal, but Creative isn't really giving me any competitive choices to do so. I would like to say thanks to all the nice people on this site. I really appreciate all of the information on here.

  • Need Help Urgently Zen Micro "Firmware Problem&qu

    Hello,
    I've had my Zen Micro for a year now and due to a "screw up" when i start my player it displays the error "Firmware Problem" and start up in recovery mode. When I try to reload the firmware the update application on my pc it says "Your player is not connected" now can I fix this so I can start using my wonderful Zen again?
    PC Specs If needed: Windows Media Center Service Pack 2

    Thanks for the reply, but that firmware download doesn't work for me. As I said in my original post, my player is not recognized as being connected when it is. It is not my computer because Jukebox opens up when it detects the device and it is listed among my removable hardware.
    I've downloaded the software, but nothing happens after the "select your language" prompt. It just says "Your player is not connected please connect your player" with a grayed out 'Upgrade' button and a darkened 'Close' button. I've tried unplugging and reconnecting the USB, but it still doesn't recognize that it's there.

  • Creative Vision W : Stuck on "Firmware Problem" scre

    I've had my Vision: W player for about a year now, with no big problems (except for the fact that when I shut it down, it gets stuck on the "shutting down" screen for about 5 minutes, where I think it closes only because it's the idle shutdown. Any help on that, also?)
    Yesterday I tried teh Sync for the first time, seeing if I could syn DVD movies onto it. (I couldn't.) This morning, when I wanted to use it, I turned it on and it said "Firmware problem"
    This was before coming onto the forums. Well I decided to "Clean Up" and after that it still didn't work. I tried rebooting a couple of times, but nothing. Then, it being a firmware problem, I decided to press reload firmware - not knowing what i was doing. I decided at that time that it would be a good idea to back up my files before proceeding to any other ste
    ps.
    After connecting it to my computer, it simply said "Storage Media - 50 GB of 50 GB" and was completely empty.
    I, being devastated and helpless, found this site and decided I'll download the firmware then try reloading it again. Unfortunately the first time I tried updating it, it stopped updating near the end. I waited about 0 minutes but it still didn't finish. I disconnected my player and removed the battery because it wouldn't shut down any other way. After replacing the battery, connecting the player, and turning it on again, it simply got stuck on "Firmware Problem" on the screen.
    What do I do now?

    I tried doing that but it doesn't work. The firmware upgrade screen doesn't see my player as connected. I've tried having the palyer off, then turning it on, and disconnecting/reconnecting but even while it's connected the player isn't docked and still has the firmware problem screen.

  • Firmware Problem?! Help PLEA

    I have a Creative Zen 2GB/4GB, etc.
    I plugged it into my PC via USB today to charge it, and a dialogue box opened that said Firmware Upgrade Available, or something, so, naturally, I clicked Update.
    After updating my player with the firmware, I took it out of my PC, because the window said to reboot my PC for the changes to take effect.
    However, when I turned on my PC, I got the Recovery Mode screen:
    |Recovery Mode|
    |Creative Zen|
    |v.2.0_0.3.|
    |Clean Up|
    |Format All|
    |Reload Firmware|
    |Reboot|
    I have seen this before when I went into Clean Up mode, but, for some reason now, it wont respond- every time I turn the player on, it says FIRMWARE PROBLEM and quickly cuts to the error/recovery mode screen. I tried to reinstall the firmware, but it says the Upgrade Failed! and I tried to reboot, reformat, clean up, etc. Nothing worked.
    I even tried the Recovery Tool, but it is still only bringing me to the recovery screen.
    PLEASE help me. I'm at a loss!
    CODY

    Ok, same here. Did the firmware upgade, it failed to upgrade after the Zen rebooted, going to the great 4 options screen mentioned above. I did the clean up, format all, reload firmware. When I launch the Creative labs firmware program I get device is not connected. I press the reset button as I was advised, it reboots, shows on the display it is connected, Windows shows it is connected. But the wonderful software from Creative says "please connect device". Can you say "Bad programming"?
    WTF do I do now? Pretty expensi've paper weight. Typical of Creative products I guess!!!

  • Zen Micro "Firmware Problem&qu

    Okay guys, I need your help. I have a 4 GBsilver Zen Micro (not photo). This is my second one. The original one had headphone jack issues. So I've had this unit for about 0 months. Now, yesterday I was listening to the Talking Heads when it froze up. I didn't drop it, it just froze. So I took the battery out and put it back in. It said Rebuilding Library. Okay, fine,. this has happened before. But, then the status bar froze up about 3/4 the way to the end. Then about 3 minutes later, the screen says "Firmware Problem." What should I do? Should I reinstall the firmware? Where do i get it from?
