Hi.............I`m having the same problem too I have 512 S1 Mp3 player Samsung Stick, I have also formated, in the hope of clearing out a VBS/Saraci virus that came with the Mp3 player




There seems to be little or no information regarding how to reset the player or even too re-fresh the software/firmware.

The translated user manual is crap, there is a remote upgrade program on the disk, but cannot locate some file called DogRUClt.dll, and the other tool: MP3 Player product tool V3.3 seems to be as useless as a chocolate fire guard.

It seems were stuck till we find the link to an upgrade site

Are we the only two who have formatted with disasterous effect
My MP3 player is a Samsung stick! no model or serial number although does say MusicStick on the front. If I try to update the firmware using supplied software, the device is not detected and switches off..........then switches back on, after deleting the warning?
Although I say my device is on.........every pixel is on! therefore it appears to be a dark blue/black screen.
Apart from maybe having damaged £30 of MP3 player, and buying a new one, has anyone got any ideas as to where one might be able to find a suitable firmware installer to get this stick up and running again ?

I Have another variation of the same player, Same problem. I folloowed the manual to set up a 5 mb encrypted partion and now the MP3 player is duff. I have had no success in finding the missing .dll shown above either, who ever wrote the flasshing program wants shooting ( no shooting is to good for them)...lol.
Any advice would be greatly appreiciated as it worked quite well for the hour i had it.

Got mine this morning, broke it by lunch!!!!!!

Same problem, found with mine that when I unplug it from the PC, it stays on for a shot time. If while it is still on I press + Volume button it starts to record.....
Cant do anything else... O and the hold button now works back-to-front....

But no other buttons work.

I'm sure we should be able to re-program them ....

omg !

i can only advise all of you to complain to samsung directly. can't believe this is all just a coincidence.

[carpetman790]

well irecieved e mail today from seller He included simple operating instructios(bit late)he says that as run on xp that driver is not required but no explanation on why it wont turn on unless connected to pc or why when unplugged only the + button works he was only interested in saying i have the hold button in the wrong position.After iyesterdays fun i removed battery for a couple of hours and when tried again the hold key worked in original position once then changed agin WHY? someone must have an answer>

by the way mine does not say samsung but looks similar the one in the picture above and is a 512 black digital mp3 player also with no serial number or model name>I bought it on ebay from hong kong.

I just recieved my 512mb mp3 player and i am running Windows XP. THe directions says that it does not need a driver. When i plug it into my computer the device is not recongnizable. There is nothing under "my computer" that shows me that i can transfer music over to it..can anyone help?

Howdy,

The 256MB MusicStick MP3 player device that I bought on eBay from China for $50 worked great when I first got it in early January. I just plugged it into my Windows XP machine and it saw the MusicStick as a new drive. I just coped my MP3 files to the new "drive" and was ready to go.

However, my office is prone to horrendous levels of static electricity, and I zapped the hell out of the MusicStick when I took my jacket off and touched my machine's chassis (with the MusicStick connected via the USB extender cable provieded with the MusickStick). My MusicStick won't even turn on anymore, and the machine now indicates that it cannot recognize the device.

That was the shortest-lived $50 I ever spent. I'd send it back, but (being that the device is directly from China and there was no refund policy or corporate address), its not worth the trouble to try to navigate through whatever return policies might exist. I'm going to eat the loss and upgrade to an iRiver H320 or something with a bit more electronic protection against Electro-Static-Discharge (ESD).

Found some a reset program for an "MP-Ki" which looks identical to the one I bought from ebay.

I can't get it to work though. Whenever I disconnect the player, it starts up as usual (i.e. in a broken state in which the controls dont work other than recording voice) rather than performing the firmware upgrade. Any ideas?

I guess MADMAXXX123 has summed up the condition, I also have a 256MB via Ebay that is now a none MP3 storage device that has a string of zzzzs, will not switch on, via battery, will power on if connected to a pc.
Have tried ' other ' firmware options with no success to date.
Still hopeful that a wizard will 'drop a penny' where are all the wizards?
Now what can I try next???
Good luck to one and all, the answer is out there somewhere, just hope it's in my lifetime...so keep me posted on any fix.

This site might have the answer.

I've a pretty slow connection so it'll take while to download and try the fix tool. If anyone has some success could they let us know!
