Hey, im having some trouble with my RD2840. For the past week its been extremely slow, it time outs whenever im trying to delete, add, and profile. The drive shows up in my computer and mp3s play, but when trying to upgrade firmware it cannot seem to find the device, same with when trying to Update system files. My plan was to reformat but its refusing to even do that. I press format, okay and it does nothing. What do I do?

Make sure your operating system has all the updates it needs, and the same goes for your LYRA RD2840. Try reinstalling the LYRA RD2840 firmware.

My RCA TV is old- mid 80's model. Do you know how to make it "Cable Ready" ? I am sure there is some kind of RCA-to-Coax adapter out there somewhere.

I am having a few problems with my lyra mp3 player. It does not allow me to delete songs. I have 60 songs and I went to add more it said it was full. I am not sure why. I have read the manual and attempted to follow the directions to delete songs and it is unsuccessful. Also a P1 shows up on some of the songs so I am guessing to add new songs they would have to go on P2 but how? Manual is not clear. Help........

My RD1021A will not display the songs playing now that I have updated it to firmware version 1.607. This is only on the memory chip...the display on the basic unit works fine. I have reformatted the chip many times and recopied the song files onto the chip thereafter but alas I get garbled and even incorrect song displays. It was reformatted with fat32. I, of course, get no help from RCA support...does anyone have any ideas on what I might try next. Thank you. Brock13@hotmail.com

I had problems with my RD2840 not being recognized by my PC. It is giving me a message that says: Bad or missing lyra-sys folder. Update Lyra system HD...what do I do? Is there a re-boot disk or a place to put my operating system back in place?

i tried to take a shortcut in cleaning up my rd2840 lyraa jukebox mp3 player by using a formatting program that runs in dos mode. it said that it would take a million hours or something so i aborted. well that just currupted everything. when i try to use it the computers says it needs to be formatted, but when i try using the built in windows formatter it says that it cant be done. is there a better formatting program i should use? any help would be vastly appreciated. thanck you

How can I open my Lyra Jukebox RD2840A case to replace the Battery? I took out the screws but it seems that there's a trick to open it.
Thanks

I purchased a Refurb Rca Lyra 2780, It worked for a while but now i am getting an error saying" Transfer in progress, Do not remove usb cable"

Does any one know what the problem is, I remove the hard drive and power up the system and i am still getting the same result.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be, This is the third unit that i am experiencing this promlem with, could be a component failure.

I have owned a RD2840A for going on 2 years. The other day either the battery went dead or it got dropped and it wont work or recharge with the adapter hooked up. I have too much saved on it to get another player. What else is there to do?

Hi I have a RD2840 and it has worked fine until i went to the profiler and then it froze so i let the battery die and when i turned it on again it said to profile it but each time it freezes so now it wont play music and my computer doesent recognize it and i cant delete everything off of it I cant even put anything on it i dont really know how to use it either. Is there a program i need to fix this? and how can i delete songs, and put new ones on.

I have a RD2840 RCA MP3 player since two years ago so I invested a lot of time saving thousand of mp3 files (around 6,000) and a couple of months ago I had the problem that somehow I was able to corrupt the data in hard drive, so I thought I lost everything (songs and mp3 player). I found out in ebay a guy that fixes Mp3 players along other electronics, and he was able to recover my files and have fixed my RD2840. You may contact him for the problems your are experiencing.

everyone seems to b having troubles with their 2780...well i bought mine refurbisged about 2 months ago, and it works fine.After searching the net for...quite some time, I've found various sights explaining different features of it, such as showing album art. If anyone has problems, or wants to know how to work a certain feature, feel free to post them and i will try my best to help...
The most common problems are that where the Lyra turns on in USB safe mode and stays that way.The Other it turns on and gets stuck at the loading screen with only 2 dots filling the bar...

I got a lyra RD2840, it also seems to be dead, but it works without the hard drive, saying the files are not found. with the hard drive it won't turn on, cause i think it is not getting enough power.
My original adapter is broken, and i need to get a new one

Can someone please take a look at their lyra rd2840 power adapter and tell me the current rating on it (it will say mA beside a number), i know it's 5.5V but i need the mA

I don't see "mA" on my adapter. I do see:

OUTPUT: 5.5V --- 1.8A 9.9W

I assume 1.8 is the number you're looking for. Hope that helps.
