yeah even if I press any of the buttons its still just a black screen. But if I turn the player off for a few mins it loads fine but then after a few mins it just dims out a bit I can see the menu but if i flick the power on and off or if the player goes into the sleep state it just shows the black screen when i power it back on. I'm thinking that the player is not chargeing. I've Emailed the seller but I have not recieved a email back yet. I'll wait a little longer for a email from the seller and let you know what he says. Thanks for the fast reply.
