i appreciate the issue with the hacked memory chip i was only quoting this as a comparison to mine.. as in mine its supposed to be a 8gb which i now realise is probably a 1gb ie: would the firmware be different because theres contains a so say 4gb which i beleive would be a 512mb different hacked chips...and would i cause any damage to thers if i was to extract there firmware file and try it......also is there any way of telling i have the correct first lot of firmware installed...because when i try to install the second lot it says this is the incorrect firmware for this device..why is this ive tried formatting every time ive had a probelm?..i will ask you straight do you think i am pissing into the wind with this particular player and just bin the f/ing thing.or is it possible i will get there... bit more info the usb port is on the bottom and the headphone jack...I REALLY do appreciate all your help on this but could you plz answer all the questions
