Top 20 iRiver B30 (8 GB) Digital Media Player Questions & Answers

If the MP3 player battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

It is circa 2007 so probably looking Windows XP and Windows Media Player 11. Not compatible with your computer Operating System is the most likely reason. You may be able to force the computer to look for drivers. https://www.google.com/search?q=Iriver+clix ..

Hi there! Well it sounds like the flash memory in your device has failed. This may not be the case. There is no way to say without testing and diagnostics, however if you can not access the files saved to the memory via the device(Playing the files) and the computer can not access that memory when connected, there is a strong possibility that your memory has failed. I am not sure the age of the device but it is well documented that all flash memory will at some point fail because it can only be read and re/written X amount of times(this is normal). Typically most devices will reach "EOL"(End Of Life), or end of use before the memory fails. The likely hood of recovering the files located within the inaccessible memory is very unlikely but may be possible. Replacing the memory chip in the device is possible but not feasible. I hope I have been able to help you today. Please if I misunderstood your question let me know so I can get you the appropriate help. Thank's Mr.Mike

Apparently it is not compatible with newer versions of Windows, but there may be a workaround solution. Which version of Windows are you trying to install a driver for?

reached it's used by date and now has failed replace the hdd

Remove the screws, locate and mark all connectors and remove.

i just googled your device and plenty of options came up on-screen, it seems there is a website that shows you in great detail, it's called "Youtube" and it's a video streaming website popular with music bands and other musicians, but also has instructional video's on just about anything you wish to learn.

convert avi files to mp4

If it is an older model like H10, it used a a micro hard drive which may have failed mechanically. Those old hard drive devices were susceptible to shock failure due to drops. In some cases you may be able to replace the failed hard drive with a compact flash card - I believe they used the same connectors and pin outs. If it is not a hard drive model, can you get it recognized by windows drive manager to try to reformat it. There's a linux based program G-Part Ed. It's an ISO file, burn to cd or put on USB and boot pc to the cd or usb to launch linux and the software then see if it will recognize and format it as an external drive. Gibson research used to make spin rite that was able to fix some hard drive problems, might work on flash memory too.

open the charge case there is a small hole put a pen tip inside it .....it gets reset ...........dont worry you wont get your mp3 or anything missing

test your audio and mic thru control panel

hello

Computer shops sell USB cables. Take your Iriver player with you to the computer shop because the USB cables come with different size connectors and you need one that fits your player.

k_akima is correct - there is no way to edit a posted question, however you can add a comment if you wish to add more information.

Yes it is compatible with windows 7. Also, here is a link to any other software from iriver you may need.

You can't delete songs off the iRiver from the device, you have to do it from the PC using the iRiver Music Manager Software that can be found on their website
