We all know how annoyingly slow the Actions chipsets are.

While taking my player apart to fix the radio, i noticed a 24MHz crystal on the main board, and another one operating at an unknown frequency (not noted) on the FM board.

Now this crazy idea came up in my head. What if we'd replace the 24MHz crystal, which is obviously regulating the clocks of the CPU, with a crystal running at a higher frequency, say, 27MHz?

I'm really curious of how the device would react. Would it run faster, but play music at a faster tempo rate as well, would it have problems powering up or flash corruption issues, or would we feel that all familiar smell along with a nice smoke show?

If you have a player that you no longer need, consider trying to change the CPU crystal. I might just try that on mine if i find a suitable crystal... :lol:
