Hello,

that's means its not compatible together. Try to get another SD card that would be compatible.

Take care

This means you are currently in the "upgrader mode". Please turn the unit OFF and then back ON. You can download the latest firmware version of your player. Please be advised that downloading firmware update may delete contents in the memory of your player. You can also Flash the memory by removing the batteries, wait for a few seconds, and put it back in.
If this doesn't work, and if the player is detected by the computer, try to reformat the player (this will erase all the information from the player).

When mine did this it meant the firmware inside had gotten corrupted. It started working again when I reinstalled the firmware. The official firmware is available at the official website, and wikipedia promotes an unofficial firmware that provides more features.

For either of them, plug the unit into the USB port of your computer, then run the utility to upgrade the your Forge.

(Eventually, my Forge's internal memory storage died - it still play music from card memory, but every time I turn it on I have tell it my language is english etc.)

I hope that helps.

Problem solved. I smacked it a few times and it began working again. LOL.

Could you post the brand and model and also, what happened when the problem came up or what happened before the problem started?

In this case, it turned out there was an m3u file on both the memory card as well as in the internal memory with the same filename. I deleted the duplicate file on the memory card and it booted up fine. I assume I could have renamed it instead of deleted it and still had it work.

Go here and download the firmware.

First Reset your player, Do not turn back on. Plug it into your usb cable. Download your updates then run them.

Do not touch your player till your done.

It worked for me. Right now it started to charge. I

I went here for a solution. Then ended up providing one. He he he. Good Luck.

the socket where card is installed may have internal loose element so its not detecting.check out the card in another device and also check another card in your device.this will confirm the fault.

I got a converter from NCH.com to convert any kind of audio file to any kind of audio file you need.
The converter works great!

your card contains fat file system. format your card with ntfs file system.

See if there's something blocking the metal of the memory card and use something like a flat screw driver to scratch it. If doesn't work, then it simply implies that the memory card may have spoilt

Try ripping your disks with Windows Media Player instead.

Pull it apart, and put it back together again.
The connecter between the two main boards have have come lose.
If that does not work, it may be toast

Yow! I can't believe it. It's been six weeks and nobody knows how to get tracks to load in numerical order! Is it that the answer is so simple that no one wants to share it or is it so technical that no one knows how?

funny mine is doing the same thing the day before i a leaving to go on a trip.

Mine wasn't recognising the player through the USB cable so I followed Mantraguy's instructions to reload the firmware. Make sure though that you hold down the menu key before you switch on the player. Then it shows upgrade and you can reload the firmware. Of course you will lose all the songs on the internal memory but if it isn't working anyway.

good luck

Have you tryed connecting the device into your pc, its either found as a storage device and you can add music to in thought the "my computer" as it appears as a new driver there.

Or it might require some drivers have you tryed and does it request them from you?
