20 Most Recent RCA OPAL M4001 MP3 Player - Page 9 Questions & Answers

There might be something wrong with your usb adapter. Try buying a new one and see if that works. I had one that did that and it worked when I got a new adapter ;)

Hi, simply connect the USB wire that came with your MP3 player to the computer via the USB slot and it will automatically find and install the relevant drivers as this devise is plug and play.

Hope this helps

Hi

This unit charges via the USB cord when it is directly connected to your computer or other device with a USB port. You can also purchase a home AC adaptor but as far as I am aware this does not come as standard with the unit itself.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using FixYA.

I assume that when you say they shouldn't be locked, that you are saying the "Lock" slider on the back is set to the unlocked position. If that is the case, then there is likely an issue with the firmware and it will need to be reinstalled.

Download the firmware installer here:

Be sure to back up any important media on your player before performing the firmware reinstall

try calling the manufacturer and see where u can get it fixed and they will give u all the deatils

Try resetting the device it’s usually a small pinhole on the back or side of the device try holding that in for about 10 seconds

or

Try reflashing the firmware for your device you can find the latest firmware and flashing utilities from the manufacturer’s website. Make sure that you back your music up first because when you do this you are setting it back to factory settings.

***** SHU THA *******

Mines doing the same thing i can suggest trying it on another computer. If that works then you need to install the lastest update of firmware on your mp3. Tell me if that works for you.

try charging the player again...for 15mins atleast...
if it still doesnt work..try interfacing with ur pc(usb)..if the transfers take place fine thn i guess ur power on/off switch is not workin...

There might be an issue with the firmware that is currently on the device.

Download the firmware update from here:
http://voxrightnow.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1416

Follow the instructions to install the firmware on your device.

Try higher-impedance headphones (cheap ones from a dollar store are fine to test; if you're using low-impedance like 8-ohm, may be too low for the audio bus in the unit and is drawing too much from the battery causing the shutdown/error). Or the audio amp or DAC is fried- are you playing out the USB or the line out jack?

go to this website download. and click on the download link if that wont work for you if all your trying to do is rip cd's to a collection then you can also use windows media player to do it, open up windows media player and click on the rip tab then insert your cd and when it comes up with all the names and information of the cd then click on the rip button at the bottem of the screen and in about 10-15 minutes your cd will be in your new windows music library and should be saved under my documents\my music from there you can put your new music on your mp3 player :) enjoy

you mean off try to test it using a vom and turn it's knob to dcv of 10v try tosee if it still have a charge!! ok?

if you want to delete music from your Opal M4002 mp3 player, all you need is use the usb of the player and connect to your computer. If the computer recognizes your usb then a folder will pop up and you choose open folder. Then you can right click on the music you want to delete from the player. That is all you have to do.

my rca mp3 player started saying boot error please format unit how do i fix this so i can hear my music again

Its the problem of the faulty or short tracked usb port or short-tracking on the circuit related to usb connections which causes this.
There is nothing needed to make the RCA Opal M4002 MP3 Player compatible to xp.its already compatible to be used with xp.

just check with other usb port.if it still has problem then your motherboard requires repairs in usb section.

This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya.
