programmer, i'd say the chances of killing your player would be about 95% to 99%. Just because the pictures in the firmware are the same as yours doesn't mean the actual drivers and code needed to run the player is the same as well. One of the biggest mistakes people make is assume just because a foriegn firmware file looks like thiers it's ok to flash to thier players. The result of course is a blank screen when they turn it on next.

As tempting as it may be to theme the firmware you've found and flash it to your player, it would be best to wait and do some detective work. Find out what player that came from. Check what chip numbers, models, memory etc that the firmware is for. Then compare them with your players info.
You also have to consider a sad truth about these wonderful little chinese innovations. Even if the firmware info matches your players, the risk of it not working is still very high.
