Coby mp305 usb stick w/ fm radio display says file system error & wont allow me to access menu to use fm radio or anything. cobys website has proven to be worthless. any suggestions would be appreciated. windows sees the music files on it & tried error checking with windows but computer sees no problem. have not found the firmware on cobys site as listed in the booklet/ instruction manual that came with it. its so new it hasnt even used 2 batteries yet, just got it from amazon. memory not even 1/2 full.

Coby outta business - bankruptcy. Cannot get parts so ..............

Looks like it only plays .mtv files, so a converter may be needed before uploading video files to the 610.

Helpful?

Thats probably because your music is protected Windows Media Audio files, try to sync an Mp3 file, this unit only reads MP3 or unprotected Windows Media Audio files.

Its the same as the MPC844:

Hello,
There's a firmware update for File Sys Error for the MP610.
Go to the support site:
http://www.cobyusa.com/?p=support

Enter MP610 in the Product Search bar: All support for this player shows up.
Select and download the Firmware Update. After the download unzip the file and read the pdf file for instructions to solve the display malfunction.

Here are instructions for a solution to your Coby 610 MP3 player acting up.

Replacing the firmware of your Coby 610 MP3 Player will unfreeze it and help it act normally again. This will also fix the 'File System Error' that has been popping up with some Coby 610 players. You can find it at the cobyusa.com website by choosing 'Mp3 & Portable', then 'Mp3 & Mp4 Players', then your model 'MP610', from the support page. Or, here is the direct link to the file from Coby's servers.



Unpacking the zipfile from the Coby Website will give you a PDF file with instructions, and a program file to run.

Your music will be erased when you run this firmware update. The instructions suggest that even if your mp3 player won't startup properly, if you plug it into your computer you should be able to access it as a removable disk, and copy all your music to a temporary folder on your computer.

Here are the steps:

1. Plug your MP610 into your computer.
2. Copy all your music to a temporary folder.
3. Disconnect your MP610 from your computer.
4. Disconnect as many USB devices as possible from your computer (to simplify identifying the MP610 at a later step, and avoid damaging other devices by trying to load the MP610 firmware into them by mistake.)
5. Run the Firmware Update program 'MP610 T LCD Firmware Update for file sys err.exe'
6. You will see a screen with up to 24 numbered, empty boxes.
7. Connect the MP610 to your computer. It will show up in one of the boxes.
8. Once the MP3 player shows up, click on the Firmware Feature icon to start the firmware upgrade.
9. After the firmware update is complete, you will receive a checkmark in the firmware box.
10. Disconnect the MP610.
11. Close the firmware update software.
12. Turn on the 610 to confirm it starts up and the display reads 'COBY'.
13. Plug it back into your computer and copy your music back on to it.

You can refer to this Coby 610 solution here.

I hope that helps.

hold the play button pressed for a while. before that look if your player has a tiny switch(ON/OFF) on a side .

To fix this problem I found a fix at the coby website. I downloaded this zip file. Unzipped it and did a drag and drop of the font file onto my coby when it was plugged into my usb port. Now I can read my menus again. Yippee!!

I have the 4GB version (non-FM) and it's having the same issues. I reformatted mine to the NTFS filing system in hopes of uploading my songs faster since these players run on FAT32, but reformatting it to any file system other than FAT32 will cause it to give a File System Err notice on your player. I would suggest reformatting it to FAT32 using your computer. There are resources available everywhere online that shows you how to do this.
