So i have this problem since a few days ago. Good thing the ISP guys finally came up today to set up my internet connection here at my granparents too.
I had my computer broken that day, and the MP4 charger wouldn't fit in any of the wall sockets i have here, and i didn't have an extension cord or anything i could use.
The battery on my player was almost gone, no place to charge it from. So i turned the radio on the player on because it eats up much less power, and here are only a few stations (about 14) and the signal is very strong, no static even on this cheapo MP4. There was pretty good music on as well btw. 8)
So i listened to the radio until the battery finally gave up. The next day i fixed my PC and recharged the player. Now when i try to get into the radio, it just displays a blue screen saying "Hard Error" in white text and brings me back to the menu. It must be the firmware fucked up, as i've lost my flash format once because of low battery, "Disk Error" and had to reformat and put all my songs back. But the radio seems to be out for good.
I would try using s1clone, but i have certain doubts about the integrity of the program, as you've seen it adds its signature to the dumped firmware.
I don't want to brick my player. I have money for a new one, but i like this one and would rather spend my money on something else.
So, what do you guys suggest?
