the end of my Cowon A2 ?? ;-(

Hello,

I have a problem with my cowon A2. I bought a few years ago. I Think 3-4 years. Since 2 days the cowon A2 doesn't work but the hard disk work when I connect to my computer as external hard disk.
It's strange when I power on the background cowon with blue screen start then come "system initialize" and power off immediately :-(
I tried to install a new firmware (1.91 of 1.95) but nothing.
When I put the adapter same problem.
My cowon is definitif dead or perhaps a thing to save it ?

thanks for your help.
Regards.

Evaristo.

That's work.
I have formatted the hard disk (complete formatting) and then installed the new firmware (1.93) and that's work again. Fantasssssssstic !!!!!!!

I had exactally the same issue - start up screen for a few seconds then nothing. Then I connected to the PC and I had the 'file transfer' image on the COWON screen, with the full directory visible on the drive. When I disconnected I started to get the same start up screen followed by the red cross. After I formatted the COWON I downloaded the zip file with the firmware (v1.91) and extracted it to the root directory of the COWON. Now I don't get any file transfer image when connected to the PC and there is no longer any start up screen when pressing the power button. What to do now????

I can't find v1.95...still looking but a link would be most helpful

Oh YAY!

The v1.93 firmware worked. I got it from the Korean site and basically clicked a few buttons that had the numbers v1.93 on them until it started to download. Thanks for the lead.
