Matsui 120MR 2GB mp3 problem?

hey all, i have a Matsui 120MR 2GB mp3 player and its been acting up recently. When i try reformatting it through windows it crashes the whole system unless you pull it out. When you do it inside the mp3 player it says SUCESS! but all of the songs are still there. When ever i try to access the mp3 player, again it freezus up windows. Anyone got any suggestons? Ta

To fix your 120MR MP3 player you'll need to reflash the firmware.

The firmware can be downloaded from http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7595_102-0.html?forumID=71&threadID=218044&start=165
(see post 175 - Matsui120MR.zip it's a 3mb download).

Download and unzip this file then run stupdaterapp.exe with player connected - it should find the player. Tick the Format box (after backing up any files you want off the player) and Reflash your firmware then the player should work fine. This firmware also has bonus of allowing playback of songs by artist or album (instructions included with the firmware) as newer version than installed on most of the players.

In the unlikely event of your player refusing to turn on after an update remove the battery and press/hold play while connecting and when asked for driver it's in directory you extracted firmware to. Reflashing again after selecting driver should fix it.

I've recently used this to repair a batch of 7 players (2gb 120MR and 1gb 110MR models) bought as faulty cheap on ebay.
