Thread: Android media player video output issues

Would help a great deal to mention the name the device.
If it is from DGTEC, pressing the Format button a few times on the remote until it shows something might help.

Not sure if you thingy uses similar hardware, but there flashing instructions out ...

If it does not have a J-tag connector the USB connection will be the only way to access the device or to get updates on it.
Even without a reset button showing, a connection to the PC might at least show that Windows is trying to access it, if there is some unknown hardware showing in the device manager you know there might be a good chance to get the damn thing going again.
Only other option I see is to get information from the manufatorr, but since Neewer is only the brand name for a big online store it might be impossible unless you are fluent in Chinese.

Being a burnt child I tend to check if support and firmwares are offered for stuff that might need it, before I decide to buy.
Noname Chinaware is a good thing to save a lot of money but quite too often turns out to be more expensive in the long run as updates or even spare parts might be impossible to get.
China hardware is a throw.away-design, meaning a product has passed it's lifetime and support once the production has stopped.
A few companies already think differently but you can count them without using a calculator...
If you can't get help from the seller/company than you have nothing to loose anyway - if the chipset matches and maybe even the internal memory use a firmware that is available and check if your device accepts it.
If worse comes to worse you will still have a "bricked" player that is still useless for you.
But wait a whle and see if someone else here might have a more suitable solution at hand first!

Maybe it is worth trying to reformat using the SD fomatter from SDCARD.ORG
They define the standards and their tool get's any SD back to the original specs as they are formatted using the internal parameters instead of the Windows defaults.

The standards between SD, mini SD and Micro SD are just the size and form factor.
If you change an Android system that has no fall back in case of failure you are basically lost.
The biggest problem with no-name-media-players is simply that once you changed something that affects the output and you don't see it on the screen, you can no longer access anything.
Most of them now use flash memory, so even if you disconnect it and leave it for days it won't revert back to factory defaults.
Only chance would be to use the settings but if you cant get them on the screen you are lost again.
Some players offer a remote that can be misused to do a factory reset, searching Google for the model will help if there is any info.
Android does not offer any system restor or fall back procedures unless specified in the bootloader, if you don't have any keys on the device and the remote does not support boot into recovery mode there will be little you can try....
