I recently bought Megastick 511.
My problem is the following, I downloaded the following firmware update
from MSI's official site:

ms5511V3.0.6withFM.zip
Then, following the instructions in the manual, I pressed the button
when connection the player

to the computer.
Without releasing it, I openend the device window at system and saw the
Recovery something device

was listed.
So I realeased the button, unzipped the files in the firmware's zip
file and overwrited the files

on the MSI program's folder.
Then, loaded the update program, saw that the version of the firmware
to be installed was newer

than the one on the player, so I proceded with the update, with the
format option enabled.

After the proccess finished, without any visible errors, the mp3 showed
"connected" on the

display.
I disconected it (via software first), reconnected it and nothing,
windows didn't detected, the

mp3 was dead, nothing on the display.

I reconected it with the "play" button pressed.
Nothing.
Tried on another USB, on another pc, both times with and without
pressing the button, and

nothing.
Changed the battery even.
Totally dead.

Can anyone PLEASE help me solve this problem? I don't wanna lose all
the money I used on this

beauty.
Thanks.
 
First, make sure you have a fully charged battery in the stick and it
is turned OFF before connecting it to your PC's USB port. With the
PC turned ON, connect the stick to the USB port and push the power button,
and you should hear a "ding-dong" sound meaning the PC recognizes it
and you can view the files thereon using Windows Explorer and play the
sound files in WMP. Now you can copy files to or from it, just make sure
you DO NOT format the stick for that will disable it from playing any sound
or music, period....... and will only be good for an external drive/storage.

I tried all that, byte, and windows doesn't see it.
I can't turn it off... cause I can't turn it on to begin with!
I formated it and it died, not even working as a file loader device
because for windows it's dead too...
 
You have now ONE choice, return it to where you purchased it as
a defective unit. Ask for a replacement or refund.
