New member Username: Blaster2100BilbaoSpain Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-05 | Hi there to all! Currently awaiting for a new lyra RD2780 unit. Hope all the issues I've read in this forum are punctual since i purchased it based on its superb specs and chars. To read such an amount of complaints about RCA/lyra is worring me. And I really pray the problems are just user malconfiguration/deletion/bad habbits. However I would like to warn those with "dead" battery problems, no matter what size it is. Ion-Lythium batteries are used in PDAs, phones and electronic devices. There are a few guidelines to avoid battery short lifespan, like these: 1. NEVER let the unit charging more than needed. It reduces the capacity of the battery (it happens the same with a mobile phone). 2. IDEAL CHARGING PROCESS: Start with battery charging ONLY when is capacity is BELOW 10% or even lower. (doing it sooner will make your battery "lazy") Charge up to 100%, then inmediately unplug it from the wallet People doing this healthy measures have reported up to the double of battery life in a big range of devices. Additionally you will find replacements of this battery in this URL: http://store.l-f-l.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?pg=prod&ref=RD2780A-BAT I'll keep an eye on this forum |

TopShop Unregistered guest | people who need answers for the RD2780, should visit: http://www.techolio.com/forums/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=1 just about every common problem has been described, and the list of issues is much more comprehensive.. search the forum!! Overcharging, or 'charging more than needed' hasnt been an issue since the days of the nickel cadmium chargers.. its not true that the battery will become inefficient, and no there will be no noticeable difference between allowing a measly trickle charge versus unplugging the charger... |

freq_707 Unregistered guest | i just bought my 2780 refurbishe doff ebay...but it seems there are people having afew probs...i still feel it was worth it because it has so many various features! recording from TV is awesome...if you dod it correct, and produces a great quality picture! i havnt had any probs. with jpeg files, maybe you should make sure the lyra can handle the amount of pixels in the pic. The lyra records in .avf not avi. but it shoudl still play them. And about copywrited dvds, use dvd dercypter, a free download, to ermove copyrights and then convert to mp1 or mp4 format. aparantly RCA have attempted to prevent people putting copyrighted music onto the lyra, but if you download it from limewire than just transfer it seems to works fine using various tranfering programs... I also have a qusetion...is it possible to copy files from a sd card to the actual hardrive of the lyra??? Thanx... |

New member Username: Wax1973Post Number: 1 Registered: Sep-05 | I dropped my RCA Lyra 2760 and the LCD screen no longer works.

Can somebody post the menu options for me so I know how many turns of the wheel I need to do so that I can enter my music library? Thanks a mill! |

Esteban Unregistered guest | I have a Lyra 2765. I recently turned it on this morning and it gave me a message saying the File System is corrupted. Is there anyway to fix this? |
|
Unregistered guest | My RCA LYRA does not allow sound to come out of the left earphone. This is not a problem of the ear phones as I have tried many pairs. How do I go about getting this resolved? |
|
Unregistered guest | I also have a RCA Lyra RD2765 and I'm also having the same problem Esteban is having. I hook the USB cord into the Lyra, but as it's loading, the File System Corrupted screen turns on, denying me access to my Lyra and its contents. And it won't play either. Is there any way to fix this problem? Greatly appreciate any help. - Alex |
|
Unregistered guest | whenever i try to power on or reset my 40GB lyra it says "failed to load files, reset unit to resume operation, update lyra system files if the problem persists" and then it shuts off. I have tried resetting it, but it does the same thing as turning it on, and it isn't on long enough for my computer to recognize it and update the system files. Please help, or give me a number so I can call and harass RCA. |

happy_rd2840_owner Unregistered guest | I have a RD2840 RCA MP3 player since two years ago so I invested a lot of time saving thousand of mp3 files (around 6,000) and a couple of months ago I had the problem that somehow I was able to corrupt the data in hard drive, so I thought I lost everything (songs and mp3 player). I found out in ebay a guy that fixes Mp3 players along other electronics, and he was able to recover my files and have fixed my RD2840. You may contact him for the problems your are experiencing.

When I press and hold the on button I could listen to the hard drive, but as soon as I stop pressing on button it turns back off. I don't know what to do. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it. |

Crab King Unregistered guest | I have recently purchased a second hand Thomson PDP 2860 (exactly the same as the RCA Lyra RD2780) and i think it's great. For anyone who wants to record from TV, your TV needs to have audio and video OUT. audio/video IN is for watching films stored on the Lyra on the TV screen. A lot of TVs dont have audio/video OUT, however, some VCRs have got audio/video OUT and can follow TV. Use this. For other people who dont know how to record copywrighted DVDs, dont start recording untill about 10 seconds through, it works fine with me. People with lost system files, these files can be found online or they might be on the disc that comes with the Lyra. I hope everyone can get their Lyras fixed. They're brilliant machines when the work, but i have to admit, they're not very reliable. |

Unregistered guest | Lyra Jukebox 2840 error message: "failed to load files reset unit to resume. Up date lyraHD system files if problem persists" well problem persists and I have connected lyra to desktop as usual but lyra wont stay turned on long enough for desktop to recongise lyra connection. I thought it might be easiest to reformat lyra but it wont stay turned on, after giving above mentioned error message it swtiches itself off. Any suggestions please |

Any telephone numbers avaialble? |

Unregistered guest | Hi, looking for someone who has a lyra 2780 that is broken and prepared to do a deal on a spare part. The part is very small and can be removed externally. RCA are not very helpful to international users. |

autechr Unregistered guest | T Mill I have the same problem and I haven't repaired it for now, but I can upload songs to the lyra by taking out the hdd of the player and place it into my laptop. I have installed win2k with FAT32 (not NTFS!!!) on the lyra hdd, and I upload the music by the laptop's CD-ROM. Then I pull out the hdd and place it back in the player and it works fine. |

Unregistered guest | Hi. My lyra a/v jukebox is stuck in the USB safe mode screen too like the anonymous posts. Where is the reset button is says to press I cant seem to find it on my machine. I have to let the battery drain before it turns off. My mom's 32 bit windows xp machine wont even recognise the device. Of course My x64 windows machine wont recognise it either, even before I had this USB error. For a year Ive never had a problem with this thing and I bought it refurbished. Hell, it was sitting on the dashboard of my jeep playing when I rolled it and the thing still played after all that!!!!! cant be that bad of a POS! lol Any help would be great since it has my entire picture album!!! Thanks yall! Jason C |

Asikainen Unregistered guest | Hi. My Lyra RD2825A only starts about every 100 time I try so now I would like to open it up to get the harddrive out and download everything to my computer.

Unregistered guest | I got an RD2780 for christmas and it worked for about an hour and now the screen on it appears to be broken. However, I live in Canada so there is no way for me to contact anyone at RCA to consider taking it back. I was wondering if anyone has a way to get a hold of people at customer service at rca, maybe a phone number or an email address. Any halp at all would be hugely appreciated. Thanks, Matt. |

Mike_Computer Tech Unregistered guest | I got a Lyra 2840 i got off a friend. It appears the hdd tryies to spin up but cannot, and i get the lyra logo before the thing shuts off. however, i took out the hdd (2 small proprietary screws on the bottom - i forced them out, then you have to use a thin peice of metal or something really flat and strong, like a flathead screwdriver to pry it open from the bottom, then guide the screwdriver around the edges to release a few pressure latches on each side - may damage the plastic housing slightly from the screw driver digging in as you pry it open) and bought a external 2.5' hdd enclosure. the hdd works fine in windows, while the mp3 player itself will now turn on without the hdd and say the system files can't be found . Thing is i noticed that the hdd made the same clicking sound with only 1 of the 2 usb heads from connected, suggesting it was not getting enough power. indeed, the hdd requires at least 500mA of power to run, and the adapter i got with it was only 300mA. I now have to get a proper adapter, 5.5v and minimum 500mA current to get the thing powered up, then deal with the corrupt system files. For those who wanted to know if you can upgrade the hdd in this thing, yes you can. it uses a standard 2.5' laptop hard drive 9/ 9.5mm tall. However, these hard drives are more expensive than regular 3.5" hdds and might not be worth the price to upgrade this thing. If you have a lyra that is dead, you might still be able to use the hdd, just go buy a 2.5 to 3.5' hdd converter (cables to go has one) if you want to use the hdd in your regular PC ,or a 2.5' usb hard drive enclosure if you want to have the hdd as a portable usb hard drive. The hdd in my lyra is a Hitatchi GST travelstar (forgot the model number) 4200rpm 40GB 2.5' 9.5 mm hdd. note that you cannot replace this hdd with the older style 10 or 18mm tall drives, as they will be too big to close the lyra back up. |

New member Username: Sheach33Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-06 | I have a reconditioned 2780 rca lyra jukebox (20gigs). Have been EXTREMELY happy with it, merrily taping my fav shows and dvds to watch when the kids are at sports etc. recently when recording one of my dvds, the unit seemed to stop, maintaining a still picture on screen. when I stopped the recording process, a fatal error message came up. i tried to record again and it says the disc is full (which I know is not even nearly true). I have since downloaded the updated firmware from this site: http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/Cultures/en-US/Downloads.html?ProductID=RD2780 which has returned the missing memory. I am able to download photos onto the unit from my computer using the usb cable, but still not the av cables to record movies etc. any ideas on how i might be able to fix this? it is out of the 90 day warranty too unfortunately. |

Jen088890 Unregistered guest | Hi -- I would like to reformat my lyra 2765, or reinstall the firmware if I can. The problem I have is that the device is not even recognized on my computer. When I plug it into Windows, it tells me that is is not recognized. I am not able to see it nor does it give me an option to reformat. In linux I can no longer mount it at all. The USB it occupies shows no such device when before I was able to see it just fine. So is there some way I can reformat this? The firmware reinstall from the website does not even see my player and asks me to plug it in. It is in! heh. Any suggestions? I just want to reformat. fdisk doesn't see it either (just thought I'd see if IT saw it or not). Thanks!! (I posted this in another thread without any response so I am crossing my fingers here!!) |

Unregistered guest | Hi! My lyra is brand new from Christmas and I just started using it last week. Everything was great and the sound was great but half way through the day yesterday, the lyra started fastforwarding rapidly through songs, one to the next. It will only stop and play the music if you push and hold any button. The machine will not turn off or on and none of the buttons work. You have to take the battery out to make it turn off. I did try changing the battery to a brand new battery - what is going on?? |

Unregistered guest | I have a RCA Lyra 20 GB RD2820A. Out of no where it's saying "Bad or missing Lyra_sys folder. Must update the lyda HD system files" but when i plug it in the computer tells me it needs to be re-formated, then computer says it cant be. I have tried the downloads on the RCA website but they cant see that it is pluged in since its not called LYRA anymore, its called Removable Drive. How can i reformat or reinstall my sys folder? i have read the manual pretty deeply and it didnt touch on this issue, also i dont own the original CD that came with the device, where can i find the drivers originally on that CD? please contact me this is extremely important to me, and thank you for your time. |

Anonymous | Here's what I think... RCA sucks. And so does this site, I have been tryng to get answeres to my questions for 3 hours and every time I do a search for the problem I get hauled back to this site.. And all it has on it is people in the same position as me, (POOR RCA FOLKS) Problems with a product they cant get answers for. WHY would you bother sucking up valuable webspace if your forum modorators do NOT have the expertise to answer the questions asked?? I'm going to put this site on block now.. and my it never grace the my path again. And perhaps now. when I do a search I can find an actual answer. Good luck to all with your problems! sounds like we're all gonna need it!! |

Unregistered guest | I have two 40GB (2840A) but only one turns on after charging it. The other one will only turn on if I leave the charger connected to it. I want to open them and exchange the battery to see if that is the problem and buy another battery. I have seen a couple of posting asking how to open them BUT there has been NO replies. I have taken the two screws off the bottom but cannot figure out how to get them open. Why can't anybody that knows how to open these share how to do it? Please somebody share this information here so everybody that has this problem can get this information. Thanks in advance for your time and shared knowledge. |

newbie2003 Unregistered guest | Hi my Lyra is supposed to hold 80 songs but mine will only hold 28. im not sure why but if you have any tips that would be great _____________________________ What file types are the songs you're putting on your Lyra? From what I've heard, .wma files are smaller than .mp3s, so it might be that your Lyra is meant to hold up to 80 .wma songs. |

Jaytee Unregistered guest | Sup guys, I had a problem with my Lyra rd2780. It said it had missing and corrupt files. But i couldn't access to it through my computer anymore. I found a guy on Ebay in the UK through this search "lyra 2780 repair". He fixed my Lyra and replaced the HD and it works good now. However he didn't post himself lately on ebay. If you want some more info from him, there's his email : zen37853@zen.co.uk. I hope he still want to help the poor and unfortunate owners of the RD2780 ;) |

New member Username: Sk8erwitchPost Number: 1 Registered: Mar-06 | Hi I have a Lyra 2825 and I have a problem. I listen to my Lyra everyday for hours at a time and lately my lyra shuts off randomly, sometimes after a few seconds of the song starting or right in the middle. Also sometime (less often then the shutting off problem) I will hear static along with the music and the sound will play slowly. I turn of the Lyra, turn it on and it will play fine. I need help, this problem is really fustrating. If you can help e-mail me at smartassrebel@hotmail.com Kayla |

New member Username: Yohog999Post Number: 3 Registered: Mar-06 | to help all you guys that need help w/ taking the backs off your lyras. i have a 2850 and after i took the screws out i slid the back doun a little bit then i got the smallest slotted screwdriver i had and pryed it open by lifting it up on the bottom and pushing it down from the top. be careful but you have to use a little force and eventually it should come off. |

New member Username: ManasclerkUSA Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | I wanted to post my solutions to a couple of problems. I have a 2840 (40 GB Lyra from awhile back). I lost the AC adapter. Being a 5.5V, it's almost impossible to replace. Because the device also has a bad power plug on it, it won't charge in the car. I went ahead and used a Radio Shack multi-voltage adapter at 6V and have been really pleased with it. I haven't blown the Lyra yet. I also found a replacement USB cable there but in the digital camera section, so you might want to look near them at other stores. Interestingly, the RS sales people wouldn't sell the Lyras that they had in stock because they get them back as returns. |

New member Username: KellyjMexico City Post Number: 2 Registered: Sep-05 | Hi all, looking for a faint glimmer of hope... I clumsily knocked over a glass of water and of course it splashed into my Lyra. Do I have any hope in hell of it ever working again (maybe it will dry out???) or am I sol? |

New member Username: LmdeanPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | What software is best for converting DVD to .avi files that the Lyra 2780 will play? I currently use Pocket DVD Studio to create MPEG4 for my Archos AV700, which works great. However, the Lyra doesn't quite like the format (using Xvid codec and 128kbs audio) and while the video plays well, the audio is distorted. Help! For those looking for chragers and battery packs, I've found this ebay seller to be good: http://stores.ebay.com/Quicn_RCA-Lyra_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ20QQftidZ2QQtZkm You can get replacement batteries for the RD2780 here: (comes with tool and instructions) http://www.pdainternalbattery.com/rcamp3battery.html |

New member Username: Bub2121Post Number: 1 Registered: May-06 | Not sure if this is the same "Safe Mode" problem that others are having, sounds like it but just need to make sure. Lately I've just been using my Lyra 2780A just as an external HD. Anyway as of yesterday whenever I have my lyra hooked up to my computer and turn it on it gets stuck on the loading page with only two bars complete, and my computer doesn't recognize it. When not connected to the computer first the transfer screen where everything is in red letters comes up and then after a few seconds goes to the safe mode screen and stays on it. Is there anyway to fix this, can't even format it or anything cause the computer wont' recognize. would appreciate any help you guys coud give me allisonhaggerty@yahoo.com Thanks |

New member Username: AsdfasPost Number: 1 Registered: Oct-06 | I don't know why I'm going to bother, as it seems that this entire thread is all questions with no answers, but I will all the same. I have the same problem with my RD2850A RCA Lyra MP3 player that many on this thread have described. I plug the device into my computer via USB 2.0 and it tells me that there was a problem installing my hardware and it might not work properly. Lyra DJ doesn't detect the device and I can't do anything with the device. It also tells me that the device could run faster if plugged into a USB 2.0, which I find funny because I don't have any USB 1.0 slots on my computer. |

New member Username: SblackardPost Number: 1 Registered: Dec-06 | I got a RCA Lyra RD2762 for Christmas and i have been trying for THREE days to sync my media player and transfer songs to my mp3 player. This is my last resort so any help is greatly appreciated. I click on the 'sync' button and then it sits there for a while. My Lyra is showing 'transferring' but then after awhile, the media player will give me an error message that says: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request. Any suggestions? I'm just about ready to pack it up and return it back to the store for a refund. |

New member Username: MpreslarChampaign, IL USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-07 | I just purchased a RD2780 used on ebay and when it arrived it had the "File system corrupt"/USB Safe mode problem. I started down the path of PayPal conflict resolution after looking and finding that this was a fairly common problem that seemed pretty hard to fix. (Since the auction description said it worked great!) The next day, I decided to take out my old 1980's vintage computer repair skills, from when I worked in a computer store as a sales/service rep. So I turned it on and listenned to the device right next to my ear. It didn't sound like the drive was spinning, but struggling to spin. So the next time I turned it on, when it stuck at 2 dots on the screen I gave it a sharp wack on the right side (where the AV inputs are). Having opened it, I could tel that this was the directon that the drive arm would need to move based on the orientation of the hard drive. Anyway, after the sharp wack it continued loading and I now have a nicely working MP3/MP4 player that I can download pictures from my camera to! One question, has anyone found a replacement button source? the select button is AWOL on this unit. Marty in Central Illinois - The Land of Corn and Flatnes! |

New member Username: Finsfan524Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-07 | I haven't been able to play my RD2780 for a really long time because it is stuck on the loading screen. I tried doing the same thing Marty did by whacking it, but it didn't work. Can anybody please help me? |

New member Username: LmdeanPost Number: 2 Registered: Apr-06 | It might be the battery, or it might be the circuit board or some of the circuits. I have had mine repaired in the past by an ebay seller who repairs Lyras and other stuff. More info on him here: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=great_items_2004 |

New member Username: AsdfasPost Number: 2 Registered: Oct-06 | Here is the only thing that I've found that helped with the uploading problems that everyone seems to have with the RCA lyra. Get a 1.8" Hitachi external hard driv enclosure. Take out you Hitachi hard drive from your lyra. Plug your now external hard drive into your computer and drag and drop files appropriately. Once you are done downloading the files, return your hard drive to its RCA lyra enclosure. *note, this method requires a soldering iron or scissors to detach wires, most of which do not need reattaching. |
