MP3 player Firmware gone adrift.

Hi all,

I was bought an iRiver iPF-180TC in October which has run well, however I followed the firms instructions for updating the firmware and now can no longer get any functionality out of it.

The management program can no longer see the player, and the player just say's 'hold' before shutting down if switched on. Windows see's it as a hard drive, although this is subject to errors, and sometimes it says that the device won't start.


iRivers web site forum is full of entries saying that a firmware upgrade has written off the machine, and that their tech support will not respond to emails about the problem.

Any idea's how I can give this thing a firmware 'enema'?
