jaynick, Memory loss after formating or upgrading is usually a sign that your players chip was hacked now the partition has changed and the hack has been removed and the chip may be reading it's true size, I would guess 256MB minus firmware space. This however conflicts a bit with the chip serial number you quoted in your first post. On Samsung chips the 4&5th characters denote the chips density in your case 2G which is 2gigabits or 128MB. A 256MB chip should have a density code of 4G.
The blue screen could be a few different issues. Your friends player may be using a different screen type to your player and so the LCD drivers in the firmware is not compatible. It could also be a problem with your LCD panel or that the firmware has not loaded properly. I suggest installing MP3 Player Utilities 4.07, some improvements were made to the upgrade tool in this version for newer players. Some members have posted that firmware that gave them a blue screen worked after being installed with this version.
