Thanx for the link Ashwin but sorry to say that it didn't work with my player.
If I try anything other than firmware 3.2..., my player gets killed again. So the 3.5.35 firmware doesn't work...
Maybe I should replace my entire board or something because I don't think there's any compatible firmware out there for my current board...I'd say I've tried more than 50 different firmwares by now but none of them work.
...and my seller

ops: ...he sold the player to me on ebay and took off (unregistered). :cry: ....so can't contact him for firmware
Since my player had a Wilson firmware originally, I think Wilson Ltd. must have a copy of the firmware. Anyone have contact information for Wilson Co. Ltd?...or any other manufacturers?
...or anyone know if there's a place to purchase a new board?
