DFPlayer Mini MP3 Player outputting "?"

[etwantstoplay]

Hello there! I have been working on a project, which includes the DFPLayer Mini and the DFPlayerMini_Fast library and while testing, it crashed.
I was testing a button contraption, which just crashed the mp3 player and since i haven´t been able to start it up.
I was using a custom code, but even the example code in the library doesn´t work and just outputs reverse "?" on the serial monitor.

I have already tried the following:
-Using other Arduinos
-reformatting the SD-Card of the MP3-PLayer
-using different Pins
-using different computers to upload code

Thanks in advance for any help!

Here´s the aforementioned example code:

#include <DFPlayerMini_Fast.h>

#if !defined(UBRR1H)
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); // RX, TX
#endif

DFPlayerMini_Fast myMP3;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);

#if !defined(UBRR1H)
  mySerial.begin(9600);
  myMP3.begin(mySerial);
#else
  Serial1.begin(9600);
  myMP3.begin(Serial1);
#endif
  
  Serial.println("Setting volume to max");
  myMP3.volume(30);
  delay(20);
  
  Serial.println("Playing track 1 for 5 sec");
  myMP3.play(1);
  delay(5000);

  Serial.println("Sleeping for 5 sec");
  myMP3.sleep();
  delay(5000);

  Serial.println("Waking up");
  myMP3.wakeUp();

  Serial.println("Looping track 1");
  myMP3.loop(1);
}

void loop()
{
  printError ();
  //do nothing
}
