...Yeah, sure. First of all, I disassembled the player and located the chip on the back side under the battery that looked similar to the picture from the recovery guide:

Then I connected my player to the USB port (without assembling it back). Using a thin screwdriver, I touched several pins with the tip of the screwdriver on the upper right side of the chip similarly as indicated by the upper red arrow on the recovery guide (the pins are very small so it is difficult to touch just one pin). Using another thin screwdriver, I touched several lower right pins on the chip (again as indicated by the lower right arrow on the recovery guide).

Then I cross touched the two screw drivers diagonally with the tips of the screw drivers still touching the pins.

As soon as I touched the screw drivers, my computer displayed, "New Hardware Found."

After installing the player, I went to the mp3 utililties upgrade tool and the recovery tool opened.

Then I just used a random 3.2.16 firmware version to get it out of the recover state...so all I need now is the proper firmware to get it going again.

At least now I can store files in it...which means it isn't completely dead. :lol:



Here's how to disassemble the player:
