Default Inside my cheap ebay player

Well I wish i'd read this site before being fooled. However i received my player this week and i decided to take it apart to see what it really is...

Here it is in all its glory. It feels ok the buttons work quite well.
What i didn't take a picture of was the back. There's a little sticky label stating 8gb

I decide to take it apart. Its held by 4 screws, one on each corner. removing the cover reveals....

and a close up of the memory chip...

The soldering on this seems really bad. You can see this in the close up pic.

The memory chip has the marking - k9lag08u0m, which if i'm not mistaken is in fact a 2GB memory chip?

Thankfully i didn't pay too much for this otherwise i would have been fuming, although how do i correct the firmware to make it see the correct memory size? I've tried reformatting but it still states 7.97gb

Regards

Colin
