Google to the rescue

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I thought I had broken my MP3 player. Actually, at first I thought there was something wrong with the battery charger. I charged the batteries, put a fresh one in the Muvo and turned it on. It shut right off. I tried another battery, nope. I grabbed a regular AAA instead of the rechargeables, still it shut off as soon as i turned it on. Finally I got the brilliant idea to plug it into the USB port of my laptop and see if I could read it. I could. So the device wasn’t completely dead. A quick look around Google though, showed me that I wasn’t the only one having this problem.. So I grabbed the latest firmware and followed the directions to upgrade. It took a few tries, mostly because the upgrade requires disconnecting the player and holding the play button down while you reconnect it, and it kept starting and turning off on me mid-process, but eventually I got the upgrade done, and the player seems to be working correctly.

  • Discussion topic – Note taking in job interview

    I’m seriously interested in hearing different views on this one. What do you think of a interviewee taking notes during a job interview? What does it say about him/her? Does it make you assume that they are very serious about investigating and remembering all the details of this job, or does it interfere with holding…

    Are Facebook Pages Worth It?

    I’ve always been a firm believer in having my own site be my online “home”, and using social networks to simply augment the audience. By that, I mean I’d write here, and simply push it out to Twitter, Facebook, etc. for folks who preferred to use those sites to follow their favorite blogs. I wanted…
