just want to ask an inocent question, if the firmware is not in your list, then i should start gathering money to buy a new player, right? :P

actually this is not the problem now, well i cant install the driver for the player, i gone through the pin conectivity thing twice, 1st time i had an unidentified usb device, so i started going through the guide till i got to the part needing the AdfuUpdate.inf and then i got stuck i have the file, but its not workin everytime i choose it i get an error saying "the specified location does not contain information about your hardware" that was when i connected the left and the right side pins of the player's chip "the one with the ATJ2051H", and when i tried connected the upper and lower pins i get freaky chopy kind of electric sound so i stop it, and when i tried with the other chip, the storage one with the lable "HY27UF081G2M" i got a usb device detected and a hardware installation screen, and when i went through i found it asking for a totally another file called "$winnt$.inf" which was located in my windows folder, but still when i chose it i got the same early error "the specified location odes not contain information about your hardware", so is there any thing i should start doing?, i can post you screen shots of the player if u need so... so just let me know if theres anything i can do ^^, and thx again for the great effort....

i wont keep trying for the moment coz im afraid my ignorance can lead to more dead stuff in the player ^^
