Just reset it. You can do hard reset buy pushing button, just use toothpick, hardreset buton is in little hole next to USB port on the side.

Also you could check iof you are running last firmware 1.03

if you don´t, download it from here

bit more info it does not play off a USB Stick as well, just tried, but this time the usb light does not flicker !

i think its broken…any updates for it ?

Usually when USB light flickers it means it is working. Maybe it´s scaning media?

Try this: conect your USB drive to PC and do Error-check?

mmm tried that. what i have found out it play all whats on the drive when you select play ALL

but if you select the folder opition it does not, maybe a update is needed ?

still as the old one think 1.0.7.1 or something like that…

I remmeber having same problem, usually it was just one crapy video that would cause it or some system error on disc.

Try updating firmware
