Updation ? No such word....

...but, somehow, I like it anyway.

Does the player work despite non-updation of firmware ?

To be honest, while I have some 512mb players, afficionados would probably direct you to a retailer to buy better known brand of player of 4gig and upwards.

T Sonic is a brand name of Transcend who I seem to recall also make motherboards -- suggest you seek home site and ask advice there.

I had the same problem

But I had wrong firmware. When I found correct one everything was all right.
Try to use older version of the firmware.
For example the one whitch You had before it happened.
It may help.
