Default Partially Dead Player

Hi All,
This is Adi from India. Greetings !!
Coming to the point directly, I purchased a 1GB MP3/MP4 player here in India for Rs 2000( US$ 44).
It was working fine for me and I regularly used it. I loaded some songs around 200MB of it and some files. I used it as a USB drive to transfer, word documents, excel files and some presentaions between my two offices and home.

Last month when i loaded some photos ( around 200) for showing them to my sister in Bombay, the player easily transferred all the photos, but refused to connect to my sisters laptop. Infact it was an embarrassment.

Now the player is not recognised by the USB port of my PC.I have tried connecting to it thru 4-5 PCs/Laptops of my colleagues at office, but nothing !!!

Mind you the player is not dead!! It shows the files loaded in it, playes songs loaded into it, the FM radio works and the text viewer works too.

In desperation i have tried to delete files from the player itself and it managed to delete all the photos as well as all the songs,but i still cant connect via USB. :? :x
I dont want to experiment with it without getting some knowledge about it.....as i've read lot of players becoming bricks after experimentation.
I am fairly conversant with technology, having assembeled my home PC by myself.

There are some important files loaded into it , which I cant afford to lose.
Will somebody here show me a way out of this, so that I can recover the documents loaded in the palyer...
If required I'll give the details of firmware in my next post.

Regards
Adi
