So I get an old-ish MP3 player.
RCA Opal
Model is M4204-A
So it needs updated firmware or something, because my little sister apparantly decides to format the entire thing. Every website I go to tells me: "You can download the Firmware updater / repair tool at LINKHERE"
Except you can't. The site it leads me to is the RCA official site and all, but they don't seem to keep managing older models' files at all. All the firmware for M4202, M4202, and M4208 are gone, just 404 pages in their place. Weird thing is they still have the tutorial file there.
Anyways, so I was hoping I could get a little help by google, and no luck. It all either leads to the tutorial file, the OLD RCA website, which they thought to remove all the files from there too. Or it leads to the 404 file not found pages.
The MP3 player connects to the computer fine, it even is telling me it's charged. But when not connected, when I normally start it up, it says "Initializing..." for like half a second, then a black screen, the controls are still lit, just a black screen. Sometimes there's a little white dot that appears in the bottom right corner, but it just sits there.
I have no idea what to do now. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I will contact their support right after posting this, of course. Or if somehow you find a link that actually has the firmware or a post leading to how to fix my problems, that'd be great too.
I may have left something out, if I did I'll remember soon enough.
