Help: Stuck at creative screen/logo

[killmipls]

Any expertise know how to fix this problem?
At very first it can boot up to recover mode when i used the paper clip method, but when i do the reload firmware i get stuck and it said "firmware update failed" or something. Now I can't off the device and whenever I on it, it will stuck at creative logo and it also fail to boot in the recover mode too. Then when i connect to computer, it also won't be detected, no dock sound. Now I currently no clue how to fix my player already. Need some expertise here to help! Thanks!!!

I say you will be needing to replace some parts. Hardrive & maybe motherboard.

Ohh gosh! Is this the only way? Is there another way to hard reset the device? If needed to replace those parts, guess I will not buy the parts already as this player already 5years old.. :/

Nope. replacing the hardrive is the minimal fix.
