Try resetting the player by holding the power switch in the on position for 6-10 seconds, release, then see if it powers up normally
Here’s the 1.03.02 firmware thread for the View. The firmware for the View is a group of files, unzip the firmware library, and drag it to the root directory of the View.
I’d recommend doing the surgery on a Windows machine, especially when formatting the device. See if the device powers up following a reset as above. My gut feeling is that something went awry with the formatting operation.
You can check if the device will boot after formatting from a Windows platform- but of course, it has to be recognized as a USB mounted device first.
