My 1gb player looks exactly like this one

Same colour even down to the ipod logo on the plastic screen protector.
After a few days it became stuck on the blue hourglass. Following the dead player recovery guide I got it recognized as adfu device and tried a couple of firmwares from the 9xxx section. Windows sees it as removable storage device now with 964mb memory and I formatted it to FAT.
I need now to find the correct firmware based on these facts
Chip = AK1025
Memory = 29F8G08MAA which I believe is memorex? (logo on chip is M with orbiting circle)
PCB = JB91B11v10 dated 2007/09/27
Screen is 1.8" I think
Any help much appreciated
