I should suggest running your card through a fresh reformat looking for bad blocks. AS flash media degrades over time you may be developing bad blocks in the media. (in a 18 month period I made the internal memory in my pmp-300 mostly worthless by refreshing so much.) 18 months, with a refresh daily is pretty close to the lifetime of a flash card.

Malfunctioning RIO 500 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --__--__-- Message: 1 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 13:40:20 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Malfunctioning RIO 500 Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can someone help me? I have a Rio 500 that I have owned for about 18 months. It has firmware version 2.15 and a 65 Mb smart media card. I use it almost exclusively for listening to Audible.com files. It has started acting erratically. Very often, I press play and it will play for a second or two and then stop. I have noticed that the small "R" next to the time remaining count down disappears. When this happens, I am unable to access any of the settings or controls. Thinking it might be corrupted files, I have tried erasing the files, reinstalling them, reinstalling different files and installing music files. The problem reoccurs. The only thing that seems to help is "percussive Maintenance." Any suggestions? Would reinstalling the firmware help?
