mp4 4gb corrupt files and iffy battery???
Hi there
I have an ipod looking mp4 player bought off a person on ebay whose girlfriend bought it for him and he didnt use.
Firstly all fired up ok but the battery would go after a few mins. After constantly charging and discharging the unit it shows now half charge, not sure if it will go any furhter. The basic couple of audio files and pictures, video that came on the unit as standard worked fine. Then i put my own music files on ther and they worked fine, but since the files have duplicated themselves in various files and become unreadable, today it is now saying it has a blank disk drive. When i plug into the main pc and check the mp4 drive the files are there but when you click on them it says they are unreadable, i have tried to delete them but it say cannot delete as corrupt. I cannot format the drive with the software from the disc it says it is not recognised by this software. The firmware is as follows:
lsd_9301_10
2006_12_05
9.0.48
2005_01_09
Some questions? Is this unit recoverable? How do i do it? Is it a virus and is it this problem that is causing the battery to not fully charge? I can source another battery fair enough but is it a software problem or bug that is giving false readings etc? I didnt want to start messing with the firmware and stuff if it is not necessary.
Any suggestions please. Many thanks.
Julie
