[Totalrecall]

Just an extra note from me:

I think that the Fake Chinese ipod MP3/MP4 players can be re-activated without needing them to shorten the chips inside.

It just depends on the right firmware you have to upload. So far I have re-activated all the dead players that came back to me. Of course only if there're no hardware problems (broken switches, bad battery, i.e.).

Please don't hang me on this statement but I'm just talking out of my own experience.

Only the newest ones that come with the USB port on the right side and the earphone plug on the bottom are more tricky. I managed to alter the boot and goodbye screens and I rewrote the Dutch language, which is terrible on all the versions. I will upload that firmware too. But be careful with that one. It took me three uploads before it worked. This version has even a nice screensaver in it!
