M230 loses FM station when turned on

I recently bought an old Sansa M230 to use as a FM armband radio.  I got it from an independent seller on amazon.com

I screened my favorite radio stations and this device seems to work ok.

But when I turned off the player and then turn it back on, rather than hear the station I listened to just before turning off, I hear white noise instead.  Yet, the screen still shows the frequency of the station who has played before, for example "94.9."

It's my third Sansa M200 series player, and the previous two did not have this problem, that is, when I turned off, then again on the station who had played in front of more late, would still play when I turned on their return.   So I'm afraid, it may be a hardware failure.

I can get the radio station pressing one of buttons of four direction, then its opposite.  For example, pressing 'Next' and then pressing 'Previous' first audio for the station back.  But it's a bit of a nuisance and an embarrassment.

Before you give up this player and return it to the seller a refund, I wonder if there are tips I could try to make it work properly, for example perhapsattempting to replace the firmware.

If so, I would be grateful for some advice to try something in this direction,

The seller agreed to refund my purchase price and shipping costs to return the m230.  So I didn't need to try to install the new firmware.   And since then, I managed to pick up a fully functional M250 in very good cosmetic condition for a very reasonable price.  So now I'm a happy camper

    I thought that the LCD screen was broken, but it turned itself off recently on a couple of opportunity (I guess overheating) I think maybe that's the problem.

  • When turned on the computer it says - Error loading C:\WINDOWS\aluzonah.dll - the specific module could not be found

    When turned on the computer it says - Error loading C:\WINDOWS\aluzonah.dll - specific module is not found - the computer seems to work very well however.

    A Google search for this returned no success other than your own message.  This suggests that the file refers to malicious software.

    You have a recent version of an antivirus with a current subscription application?  Have never leave you the subscription expires?

    Startup like these messages can occur if your antimalware application has deleted the payload real malware but has failed to clean up the start of the call.

    First download, install, update and run the following applications of malware free 2 the possibility that one or the other will detect and remove these remains (as well as anything else that your original scan could not detect):

    Malwarebytes

    SUPERAntiSpyware

    If these two applications running is not the message disappears, you will need to know where the call to the missing dll file is now done.  The best tool for this is AutoRuns:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx the main problem with the help of AutoRuns is that he finds the startup items as much as it can be a little overwhelming. One of the good features of AutoRuns is that you can prevent an element of commissioning by unchecking the box, but if you decide that you really want to start, just re-check the box.  Once you are sure that you will never need of the item to start, remove it.

    Typical advice is to check the logon tab, but because the now-absent file is a dll, it is not likely to appear online in the logon tab.  Yet, take a look at the connection tab and if aluzonah.dll is there, or if there is a line of starting an application of suspect search, a Google search suggests is malware, uncheck the box and restart.  If the entry is far, re - run AutoRuns and remove the line.

    The next place to look is the Winlogon tab, which should have little, or no, entries.

    If you have not yet found the wrong entry, click the all tab, click the top row and then click on file > find and search for aluzonah.dll.  If you find an instance, uncheck the box and then manually move the selection on the following bottom line then press F3 to "search again".

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Bold only charges when turned off

    Hi all

    I have a BB "BOLD" for a few weeks now.  When I plug it into the charger, it does not seem to load when the device is on.  The loading symbol appears in the upper left corner, but if I unplug the device after a period of time, the battery status symbol doesn't seem like the unit is charged.  In addition, the light yellow of load not flach when plugged in when turned on.

    When I switch off the unit and plug it in, I get the charging flashing yellow light and accusations of pretty good device.

    I also tried it with the device is plugged into the USB port on my laptop (I have DeskTop Manager 4.7), and it does not seem to load there either, although I have not tried to load from the PC the unit is turned off.

    It is a real problem, as very often, I want to load the device then turned, while I do miss phone calls and emails.

    Thank you.

    Adam

    The battery on the top icon left not enough resolution to be used for something other than a general indication of charge level.

    Go to Options, State to see the level of charge of the battery percentage.

    When I have my camera on during loading, I do not see the battery flashing yellow light. In fact, I didn't "BOLD" had one of these!

    In any case, see if the percentage level changes during loading with the appliance on.

  • When turning on pc and when the acer logo appears it asks to enter the current password, I bought the recovery disk but do not get a chach to enter the bios

    When turning on pc and when the acer logo appears it asks to enter the current password, I bought the recovery disk but do not get a chach to enter the bios

    This looks like a utility Acer protect disk hard & possibly also the BIOS.  You will need to consult your manual for Acer.  You have configured a password of HDD that you are now trying to recover, by chance?  This recovery is not possible if the hard drive has been password protected.

    If it was a Windows login screen then it would show your user/admin name and password entry area & would be clearly identified as a Windows form of the version of Windows being displayed at the bottom of the screen.

  • VCA mode - vm vmotion level lower than the level when turned on?

    Hi all, trying to get a definitive answer on this one there...

    Assuming that ESXi 5.1 u2, if you have two clusters, a set to VCA = Westmere and a game to Haswell, could you vmotion a powered on virtual machine cluster (Westmere) at a lower level to the upper level (Haswell) cluster, or must it be turned off?  I realize that, to take advantage of the latest processor have together, the virtual machine power cycle is required, but I didn't understand if you can vmotion it when turned on?

    Thank you! ~

    Yes, you can vMotion as a virtual computer to a host of generation more recent CPU very well provided that it contains of identical CPU instructions sets that older CPU's (the host has them enabled in BIOS too). You can vMotion that their return to guests because as long as you do not have virtual machines powered bike, they will continue to work with the old base EVC.

    I also vMotioned VMs hosts generation Nehalem to new hosts of Sandy Bridge earlier without problem.
