I have tried a number of different usb drives, I have tried plugging into the usb port 1 & 2, I have tired plugging it in on boot and after boot, I have tired pressing the reset button.
Nothing happens its just stuck on that screen. The remote is unresponsive, I have to pull the power lead out to reboot.
Is there anything else I can do to recover it or is it kaput?!
Any help anyone can offer would be very much appreciated.
Nope. So downloaded zip extracted files to root of usb drive. Booted with it in there, booted with it not and then plugged in. Nothing, still stuck on same screen.
However getting the freezing error when connecting to my NAS. Didnt have this prior to the firmware upgrade, so might try and roll back 1.16 again (but this is what I did last time and got stuck in this loop). Shall I twist and try 1.16? what do you think?
How do you insert the downloaded file into the player if the player does not boot up and is stuck with the firmware error message? It would be interesting if the suggestions members add are complete and thorough enough to actually be helpful.
oddly, they released another version firmware in 2013 (FW 1.06.42_B) … but no download links on the WD Site ? … oh well, should be out there if you google it.
