Issue with Asus O!Play Mini

[yRus]

My Asus O!Play mini used to work fine until one day it suddenly stopped reading my external HDD. Sometimes it can but most of the time it simply doesn't do so.
Any help would be much appreciated. I've just bought it very recently.
Thanks in advance

how bout a firmware upgrade or firmware flash ?

you can download the firmware on pendrive and flash it.

any signs of heating ?

welcome to the forum and wish you a great year ahead..

Is the drive detected everytime you plug it in the PC? Are you also facing the same problem with any other external hdd you have?

Can be cable issue as well.

I believe there is factory reset button hidden behind the player. Try and reset.

Hmm, then may be you can try loading the firmware over USB and then make changes. Not sure whether you have already performed this but I think you can update the firmware over USB pen drive.

Edit: My first Mini went bad with the device unable to detect the remote but I was able to get the display and all. One of the bad things of these kind of small media players is that you do have any physical buttons to operate. This happened after 3 yrs of usage. So purchased another one the recent one around 6 months back.

hemant, its lying un-used as the repair cost is not worth for this player at its cost. So got a new one for around 3.5k and actually its for my Dad as I have built a dedicated HTPC which is more than sufficient in my main HT and a Pi for my bedroom system. I feel the Pi will beat these kind of media players hands down with the Openelec OS at the same price or less.

Hi bonus630,

I'm having a new problem with my O!Play Mini, is exactly this same problem(op message): https://www.hifivision.com/threads/asus-o-play-mini.34305/#post-452093. So I wonder if your method could help me fix my device. I just need to know in detail please, how you managed to disassemble the O!Play Mini case?

Thank you so much!

I have the same problem with volume stuck on 1. Disassemble the O!Play mini is easy. Just remove the 4 rubber dots on the bottom of the player. Underneath you will find 4 screws.
I've tried to connect the two pins shown in the photo bonus630 posted whit a jumper but it didn't work for me. I hope you have better luck with it.
