I’m getting Refreshing Your Media: Nightmare Level.
I have a Clip Zip with a really persistent case of Refreshing Your Media. A Macbook was used to load tracks onto it, but then I got the RYM screen so took it to my Windows 7 machine to try to fix.
I’ve tried everything mentioned in the forums, including:
- Holding the Hold button for 60 seconds to do a reset.
- Manually updating to firmware 01.01.20A successfully.
- Connecting to a Windows 7 machine in MSC mode and doing a full format (not quick format), then updating the firmware sucessfully. (i have done this at least 3 times now)
- formatting the device from within its settings menu
- Letting it do its Refreshing Media thing for 10-30 minutes, even with no media loaded.
Even with no media loaded on, I get the Refreshing Your Media screen stuck on. When I force MSC and load on some tracks (clean id3 tags) I can get it to play tracks, but the Refreshing your media loop comes on whenever:
- the Hold button is the first thing you press after powering on
- long-press the Hold button to shut down.
It also goes into the Refreshing Your Media loop unpredictably when pressing the Hold button (instead of the lock coming on, I get the Refreshing Your Media).
I have never used an external msd card on this unit.
I have a second, identical Clip Zip with no problems.
Any other ideas, or is this unit toast?
