Topic: Nomad JB3 Re-Building Library help needed.

[Joeski]

Hi all fellow taperssectioner's

     My JB3 has been in a funk ever since I turned it off after listening to a show on it on Thursday.  I powered it down like normal with the button then when I tried to turn it back on to listen some more it went into  "Re-building Library..."  and has not recovered since.  I looked in the JB3 FAQ Brian wrote up and the link to Creative's JB3 FAQ and unless I'm missing something I can't find a solution.  I tried a paper clip into the reset hole both while on and off due to the batteries not being in it then poping one in.  It will not get out of that damn "Re-building Library..."   screen.

     Any suggestions and I thank you all in advance.

I've had this happen also and fixed it by doing the following.

It's probably a good idea to do a Format All regularly to ensure you don't run into problems like excessive fragmentation.  Instructions:

1. Remove the battery or press the reset button.
2. Either while reinserting the battery or after reset ensure that the stop button is held down.
3. As soon as the 'Creative' logo appears on the screen during the boot sequence, release the stop button. Immediately press and release the play button. The unit should boot to a diagnostics mode with several recovery options.

Those are:

      [b.] Format All (*WARNING* ALL contents will be lost, including pre-installed content)

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

     Thank You, that did the trick, I could not find it for the life of me when I was looking on the day I first posted.  It was so cool to see the think just rebuild then be done in a short amount of time and have my music back.

Thank you again

No problem man, anytime. I had to do a Format All twice to get the re-building library message to go away, glad it worked.
