Innomen, It sounds like a loose wire or something in the usb cord. Shorting the chip is like a reset and puts the player into recovery mode as if you wiped the chip. In recovery mode your player will not accept a firmware backup it just does not contain all the files your player needs to recover so you need to load a Full Version Firmware which are not very common and finding the right Full Version for your player is near on impossible unless like one of my players one was on the mini CD that came with the player. However it is possible to recover your player using a combination of Full Version (even if not the right one) and backup dump. So shorting the chip is like a last ditch effort to recover a player that is dead and unless you find a) the exact Full Version for your player or b) the right combernation of Full and dump you may not get your player running again. Not something you should do before exploring all other avenues.
