Help w/ MPIO FL100 , Gone haywire
|
New member Username: BigcapPost Number: 1 Registered: Jan-05 | Can anyone offer me some trouble shooting advise. I've had this MPIO FL100 for almost two years now - It's been totally awesome and so easy to use that my 13 year old son uses it. Never had a problem till now. When I power it up I get a message that says "ROOT , NO TRACK". I tried reading the manual but it's no help. I suppose I will try and format the memory-see if that works. Any suggestions from anyone would be appreciated. Could these things get viruses? Sorry for all these dumb questions but I figured if anyone had to time to answer I would appreciate it. I hope it's just something simple to fix. Thanks Again. |

Unregistered guest | I try to connect my MPIO FY200 to my computer, but everytime I do, my computer doesn't reconize the USB device. I have checked the cables that I have so that isn't the problem. Can someone please help! |

Mel_L Unregistered guest | I had an FL100 for 2 and a half years and one day, when I tried dragging new songs in the folder I had, it decided to format itself. So, I lost all my songs. Then, I rebooted my computer, tried again. This time, when I dragged the songs,they wouldn't load and when they did, I was only able to have 2 until the player decided it had its full 128. The songs were like 5MB a piece. I returned it, tried getting the Creative MuVo Micro N200, but my computer didn't like it one bit, so I went back with the FL100, but the 256 model. I did buy the 3 year warranty again in case the stupid ting decides it wants to die. My friend has an iRiver and he has NO problems with it; though, he hasn't had his for a year yet. If you buy an MPIO, make sure to get a warranty!!!!! |

PhilippZ Unregistered guest | There is an update on the www.mpio.com website for a Windows XP Service Pack 2 updated USB driver. That might fix your problem. |

Unregistered guest | I seem to having the same "ROOT No track" problem other people have and whenever I turn on the FL100 it says "Please do format" and every advice given to that is "format internal memory" But I don't know how to do that, can anybody explain how you format internal memory. Please? Thank you for anyone whose kind enough to help :] |

Anonymous | I've also had a FL100 that went "nuts" with the "ROOT No track" - "Please do format" on power-up. Attempted several different solutions posted in FAQ's and they all failed. At one point the PC stopped being able to communicate with the FL100 even though the usb connection was working. One additional thing I noticed was that when setting FM radio stations, when the unit was powered off and back on again all preset stations/configurations were gone. Clearly an internal issue to the FL100 and not usb/PC software related. It was as if power were missing to the non-volatile memory or a back internal connection. So I opened the FL-100 up and took it apart. Very carefully. Long story short, there are two small circuit boards inside the case. The topmost board has two small connectors on it that mate with the lower board. I removed the upper board, re-installed and re-seated the connections between the two boards and put a battery in it. PRESTO - IT WORKS FINE ! I've now been using it for about 10 hours without any hitch. Even downloaded the current firmware version and updated the firmware. BACK FROM THE TRASH. If someone has a "DEAD" unit and wished to send it to me I'll check it, fix it for $10 and return it or if I'm not able to fix it return it "as is". Sender pays UPS or USPS shipping each way. |

ktron Unregistered guest | my fl100 has always been great, but i recently got a 512mb sd card to use with it, was using it fine for a while, but then i think it fried the card! nothing recognizes that 512 sd anymore. i have another card now that i can copy stuff on, but the fl100 only sees whats in internal memory, it sees folders on sd card and isee that "root" thing but it can't find any mp3s... im gonna check out that mpioworld now i guess.. |
