h apart from that. But yes, I do believe that the reset button isn't a hardware switch at all, to me it looked just like a software switch just like the other buttons on the device. -Original Message- From: Monty Lilburn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 September 2006 16:58 To: Roc

I've only ever had a hard lockup once, where I couldn't even reset the device with the reset button, and that was when (I think) the battery reached a pretty low point and at the same time the hard drive was being accessed. I'd had my H140 for a while by then, at least a year and a half, coming

Thanks for the tips. I'll give 'em a try. It doesn't seam like the reset system was the best designed feature of the units! Monty On Mon, 25 Sep 2006, Dave Hooper wrote: The reset pin is a little tricky, try to press it very short and in "different ways". Also i'd recommend trying someth

Hello, You definitely bring up a good point as normal functionality of reset buttons is that the circuit breaks and resets the unit. The reason I thought something may be different in the H140's circuitry is because I found a post by searching Google where someone's player froze and they to

Pressing various buttons for varying lengths of time and even hard resets via the reset button do not reset the player. Hey Monty, do you mean you've tried the pin-in-the-reset-hole and even that doesn't work? I've never seen this on my H140, and can't see how that could happen unless you ha

Hi Monty, Is it reproducible? i.e. can you play one of the problem files, then attempt to pause it and it will crash every time? (Or most of the time?) If so, perhaps you could e-mail me one of the problem files and I'll see if I can help. Steve Bavin
