How can i reset my H10? - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10/B Digital Camera

Hi,

There is a small hole on top of the player it says reset beside the hole. You need a small straight pen to stick inside and press down you will feel it click , then restart your player.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

To reset the H10 (5/6 G model) you just disconnect the battery - it doesn't have a reset button as such

sounds like a hard drive problem...
need to see if you can still access your hard drive through the UMS trick
For 20 GB MTP Models

• Make sure your H10 is turned off and disconnected from the computer.
• Poke the "reset" button with a paperclip.
• Turn on the hold switch (so that you don't accidentally turn the H10 on all the way).
• Plug the H10 into your computer.
• Turn on the H10 while holding the "O" button.
• You will see the message "Emergency Connection" if you have done everything correctly. You can now let go of the "O" button.

If yes, try formatting the H10 hard drive, reload the latest iriver h10 firmware, and transfer your music files directly to the h10 music folder with Windows file manager.
Download and run Easyh10 free playlist maker, to build and save a playlist to your player.

Good luck.

not sure what's wrong but try this..

hook up your h10 via the ums trick...
The UMS trick is a great thing to know how to do. With it, you can transfer music, or treat your H10 as a harddrive to put anything you want on.
The UMS trick will also allow you to use your H10 with virtually any OS.

For UMS Models UMS models do not need this trick because they are always in UMS mode!

download and run the free playlist maker software called EASYh10. It will scan the music files on the h10 music folder and save a new playlist to your player.

The procedure depends on what version you have.

Below there is the procedure for 20 GB , on other models procedure is the same, but you must find the right download for your model.

Dear dedin1

You must try to do a soft reset to ur player, or try to format it, that should work surelly.

I am having the same problem. Resetting it doesn't work and now it's locked all the time and I can't do anything with it! There are no suggestions on the iriver website. Have you got any other solutions to this problem?

Hi StevieB Try following.1/Prepare a handy tool (straightened paper clip) to insert into "reset" hole atop of H10 2/gently insert tool into reset hole and feel a click 3/ turn on H10 if this works great 4/if H10 continues to jam lock up then it may require reloading firmware sounds complicated but easy steps available chk iRiver support website

hit the reset button

it is not recommended to initialize while synchronising this will fry a couple of circuits inside
