Default Opening a Teclast C280 ???

Hello to all,

first of all, thanks for this great information source here which helped me a lot during the past weeks with my player.

I have a C280 (Teclast branded, 2 GB). The player really looks nice on the photos I've seen, so I decided to buy this player. I'm not disappointed, the sound is great, handling is ok if you practice a few days, and the menu screens also look great. But the rest of the firmware.... really ugly !!!

After two weeks I couldn't take it anymore and I themed the firmware, and also replaced the ugly font (thanks to knob and all the others for the tools !!!).

Now I'm really satisfied with my player - except for one thing: the battery is playing music for 1 hour maximum (with screen turned off) and 5 minutes (!) when playing photos. This was from the beginning and has nothing to do with my firmware modding....

Because I have no warranty (bought the player from second hand in Europe) I will have to open it and replace the battery.

So my question is: Has anybody ever opened a c280? I read abot the good chances to break the earphone jack in another thread - which I would like to avoid... :-)

That's all for the moment. I would be glad if someone could tell me his experience.

Thanks
