Yesterday I decided to test out the 2.28 beta firmware. Everything seemed fine yesterday, but this morning the playback stopped during Neurocast and I got an error message (can't remember the code) and it said to hold play to reset. I've had some random errors throughout the day.

At work, the playback halted and had a constant buzzing noise. I had to reset the unit, and when I booted it back up, it had lost the connection to the backpack for whatever reason. It wasn't picking up the songs, or the fact that the battery was fully charged (from the File Browser, it was reporting D:\ as the directory). So after formatting the NAND (which resulted in the same problem) and reseating the brain (not sure if this fixed it, or if it eventually fixed itself), it recognized the backpack again. It's currently working fine.

I just thought I'd share my experience and see if anyone else has had the same problem.

Btw I just purchased my Neuros about a month ago and so far, I am thoroughly impressed.

You say it started to buzz, was it more like a high pitched, full volume beep? That happened to me twice, weeks apart, while I was listening with headphones. Felt like an airhorn blowing in my ear. hasn't happened in about 2 months now and I never figured out why it did it.

Yep, it was that high pitched, airhorn beep. Maybe it was an isolated error that had nothing to do with the firmware, but it never happened before, so I guess I just placed blame on the firmware ;)

the times it happened to me, one was an older firmware and one was garbage branch. Both times, the player was just sitting there. Nothing moved, it just started screaming at me.

Ok, well maybe I shouldn't worry too much about that error. The one I'm particularly concerned about is after that went down, I reset the unit, and it wasn't picking up the backpack. I go to the file browser, and it was apparently showing the contents of the brain (D:/). So I reseat the brain, turn it on, same thing. I formatted the NAND, reseated the brain, turn it on, same thing. So I just turned it off and left it off for the next 20 minutes. I turn it back on, and everything's back to normal. The file browser sees C:/ as the drive again, and playback works normal.

Since it's working now, I wouldn't worry too much. The neuros is a buggy machine and does some weird things sometimes. Screwing around with formatting nand fixed it every time for me.

I loaded the newest garbage branch last night and it beeped out on me again about a minute ago. This time i was fast forwarding through a song. Apparently when you format and scan nand with this firmware, it clears the whole player. Damn.

I thought after I formatted that it had wiped the music. Then I went to File Browser and saw that it was looking at D:/. After some tinkering with reseating the brain and formatting NAND, it finally picked up the music again. Maybe that's the same problem you're having? (I realize the difference in firmware, but maybe it's the same problem hehe).

I reset it a bunch of times, flashed it again. No luck. Pulled the brain off and stuck it back in and its all good now. Guess it did just need a little tinkering.

I was all worried about having to listen to the radio on my hour long trek home from work.

--UPDATE--
I think I figured out why it did the beep thing. I turned on the player. Picked a song and began fast forwarding immediately. My guess is it tried to fast forward without having that data cached yet and confused itself.
