Probably not many people have this mp3 player, but I still got to give it a shot. I got a INOi MP180 at CompUSA during the black friday sale. It started having problem last night. When I unplug the usb cable it wouldn't get out of the PC connection mode. (Normally when I disconnect the USB cable it will tune off automatically) I have to poke the reset pinhole to reset it. And it just keep doing that every time I plug in the usb and press the first button on the top left now. And it won't charge the battery even after I plugged it in. So, anyone have a similar problem with there INOi MP180? I guess I'm probably :censored:ed, I didn't buy the extended warranty, INOi will probably make up some excuse and not cover it. Oh well, time to dig my Rio Cali back out. :(( :(( :(( If anyone have this model of mp3 player and have a solution to this problem please help, thanks. 👍

Here's the screen it's stuck at. (After I pull the usb plug)

If I just plug in the USB cable without pressing the top left button, it should normally charge the battery, but now it just says the battery is full, but in fact the batt is near empty.

Please don't try and circumvent the swear filter. It's there for a reason.
 
Wait till the battery drains and charge it again. Or does it have a reset button of any kind on it?
 
It does have a reset button, but it does after I reset it if I connect the usb again it will just do the same thing. Thanks for the reply tho. Any other ideas? I might just have to take it back to CompUSA see if they'll help.
 
Is it possible to update the firmware or completely format the HDD from your PC? I don't know if that would make any difference but I think a complete firmware re-installation could do the trick. I've looked around at other sites and it seems as if others have also had the same problem:

CompUSA should still cover it I would think.
 
I already upgraded the firmware to the latest version, and I don't know if the HDD can be reformatted. Anyways, I just got a reply from INOi, they say I can send it back and they'll inspect it and repair it if they see fit. I guess it's worth a shot. Thanks for the replies.
