Default *** Assistance Please ** Mp4 Player Dead?

Ok so I have purchased:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=290057013980

and when i received it I have had problems since the start.

It would only play for about an hour then shut off and need approx 6-12hr charge before it would play again (and that would only last for an hour)


Now in recent days it will only play for about 10-15 mins and shut off entirely as if the firmware had gone bad (which it hadnt at this point b.c no mods had taken place)


Now I am reading regarding your firmware upgrading and I attempted to put on: Ipod V1.5 from the firmware download section of this page for 2 reasons, one to attempt to correct the issue with turning off staying in a "Dead" state and to 'skin' it to look like an Ipod (I liked Doon's theme but the pics didnt work for my player so I thought the ipod V1.5 firmware but already be pre-skinned)

Well that seems to have cooked my player. I am not mad at the site at all as it is CLEARLY stated try at own risk. I am more concerned that whenever i plug in my player to a usb port it shuts down my computer cold turkey just powers it off totally so I can't even to the reboot method for dead players which has worked for a previous player (doesn't matter if switch is in the on or off position)

So now I am stuck. Did i receive a bunk product? Is there a way to correct this issue am I left in the cold now? Is my player even capable of getting Ipod Skinned?

Please PLEASE PLEASE if anyone can provide some feedback or assistance I would greatly appreicate it.

I am computer inclinded and do know alot about PCs and players.

Thanks in Advance.
