Title: iRiver H120 - PC can't connect
Post by: nkramar78 on February 26, 2007, 08:18:54 PM
I purchased an iRiver 'as-is' from an eBay seller taking the chance that it would ok...  But, you get what you pay for sometimes.  The issue at hand - unit powers up and boots normally but my PC doesn't recognize it whatsoever, keeps giving me the same error:

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Any help?  Anyone have this issue before? I've uninstalled/reinstalled the unit from the Device Manager, no help there, same error.

Unit seems to have seen better days, there's quite a crack on the left side of the player near the internal mic.  Am I destined to use it for spare parts?

Hi, sorry to hear about your troubles, but all is not lost...

The H120 is know to have bad soldering on a daughterboard, which connects harddisk, USB, ...

LinusN at rockbox knows all about it, but hasn't written this down in a webpage. If you think you can manage opening it and fixing it yourself, there's a chance you'll get a good player again.

Good luck!

UNfortunately, I'm not that technically skilled.

Probably just pass it on to someone who can fix it and needs one...
