Hi Godzil!
Thanks for your time!
I know this is not a really trendy device...

One good way to recognise the firs gen odyssey from the second gen is the power button. A slide button is the first gen, a push one is for the later.

It's a Cyboy10-BK. I think it is the first gen, with the annoying slide button at the bottom. I purchase it in something like 2012.

Do you have an SD card in the device? There has been time where it can make the reading software slow to start when an SD card is in, it’s a bizzare bug.
|
I've tried with the SD card both in and out. No changes.
Right now, I'm working with no SD card.

If you are sure the firmware update did work fine, try to boot the device with the USB cable connected and if it mount on your computer copy all of the data then put them back by small batch, the software may be unhappy with one of the books.
|
No luck there: the PC doesn't see the device. Even if I try to start it while connected via USB, I still see the "Starting up..." page.

If none of that work, and your don’t mind formatting the internal storage,you can boot the device in factory mode, make sure it is switch off, then press the two left/right button, keep them pressed while booting the device, it should show a slightly different splash screen with “Service mode” displayed.

I've seen the "Service mode" screen. After a few moments it simply disappeared and the "Starting up..." one re-appeared.
In a second attempt, the "Service mode" page appears and then it stays there, no reaction from any button. Stuck again.
I know this is a device that has almost 10 years, but it's a nice piece of tecnology and I'd hate to trash it without trying.
Now that I've seen that not even the "Service mode" page opens regularly, I'm seriously thinking about declaring it dead.
What can I say? Thanks a lot for your advices and your time!
See you around!
