My Thomson 6728 keeps showing ! Profiling requires 20MB free space Shutting Down

maybe theres a bug in it from the factory.

Hi,You just need more space on your player. Just connect to your computer, back up files, then delete enough to leave 20mb. Hope this helps! Oh and for all the support for the M4304 visit this page:http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/product.aspx?product=420

prifile requires 20 mb of space

dude hook it up to your computer right click view what windows says is your space IS IT FULL OR CLOSE ?yes, delete some songs/mp3s no its probably junk or you can try to format via windows and the right click thing and put on some new mp3s you may of possibly downloaded a corrupted mp3 to the device

try to view files/mp3s on your home computer delete any extra you have to free up space if not try a complete format of your mp3 player may have downloaded corrupt files to it

Restoring RCA M4304A Recorder Firmware

Symtom: recorder shows OPAL splash screen, then shows "profiling requires20mb of free space, shutting down" and then shuts down. Recorder cannot be accessed by windows or the RCA easyrip software.

Solution: Use the firmware update found here: http://www.voxxsupport.com/images/downloads/OPAL_066F_85A4_85A5_0_1140_SIG.EXE

This update needs to be ran on an xp computer running 32 bitOS. It was tested in a Win 7 64bitmachine and proven to not work.

Necessary steps taken to get the firmware to properlyrestore were as follows:

1. Hold in the power (menu) button for 10 seconds(the splash screen will show and it will give the error message, ignore it)

2. While still holding the power button, press theplay/pause button and hold down.

3. Release the power button while still holdingdown the play/pause button and wait 5 seconds.

4. While still holding the play/pause button plugin the usb cable to the recorder. Continue to hold the play/pause button foranother 5 seconds after plugging the cable in.

5. Release the play pause button then launch theEXE for the firmware update. Minimize the instruction screen so you can see thefull update screen.

6. Leave the format checkbox checked (check it ifit isn't checked) formatting is crucial to this working.

7. Once the status in the update window changesfrom initializing to ready click start to update the recorder. It will go through formatting, then updating.

8. Once the status shows complete disconnect therecorder and with any luck the recorder is usable again. The media files will obviously have to bereloaded, but the recording is functional at least.
