CnM Media Player won't display on TV

MerlinG 2009-10-23 02:27:55 UTC #1

Hi,

Recently purchased a CnM 500GB Hi Definition Media Player with HDD.

It played movies initially on TV from USB stick but when I downloaded movies from pc to the hard drive it no longer displayed on tv nor will it now play from USB.

I took it back to the store at the weekend where they found the same problem but couldn't rectify so they exchanged it.

Downloaded movies again but am having the same issue where it will not display on tv.

Is there a reset or am I doing something wrong?

Carl.

Welcome to the forum.

Did you figure this out?

I would read the manual, thoroughly:

And maybe try updating the firmware:

Before you update the firmware, contact tech support first:

Hey mate.
Mine has just stated doing the same thing after 6 months of no problems!
I can connect to my laptop and view all the files, I can copy, delete and transfer to/from the player AND I’ve just updated the firmware, but STILL no display.

Anybody had this problem or know the remedy?
TIA,

Did anyone manage to resolve this issue. I have the same problem after five months of puchase.

Did you, yourself find a resolution? I am now having the same problem. Please help.

Anyone find a fix or this? I have the same issue.

tried the new firmware and copied across the sys directory…still caput.

No I am trying to resolve this issue with CNM themselves. It has taken over three months to get nowhere. Looking on the internet quite a few people have this problem yet they seem to be under the impression no one else has come to them about it.

Fricken pain for an otherwise good product. But how good is it if it’s only got a life expectancy of 6months.

I reckon you should call/write to them. Can you let me know when you get any further with your situation please?

Cheers

On my CnM HD mulltimedia box, removing a single screw in the right hand side of it allows the internals to be pushed out of the front. No need to remove any screws from the back. Also note that the internals are keyed to the frame with cutouts and will only go back in one way.
