Is there a way to reset the NVRAM in the CD-I 550? It keeps coming up and saying that memory is full, and I need to delete some titles, (it only shows 8%). But, there are no titles displayed.
Could it be a bad battery?

You could also use "cdilink -dir /nvr" to see if there are any hidden files in the NVRAM and remove them with "cdilink -del /nvr/filename". But you need a nullmodem cable then, of course.
You could also write a small machine-language program to zap the memory at 320000 to 327FFF, that's where the NVRAM lives on the 450, and download and run that using "cdlink -n -a 8000 -d yourfile -x" (note that only even or odd bytes are in use, I don't remember which). Actually, just the first byte alone would be enough...
And, finally, you could zap it directly using "cdilink -n -a 320000 -d somefile"; this will probably crash the player but it WILL zap your NVRAM.
More then enough options, I'd say, no need to screwdrivers...

False alarm.
All it took was charging up the battery, I guess. I left it on for 4 or 5 hours, and it worked after that.
