Hi, I'm new here. My ebay seller 'yoneedshop' referred me to this site to download firmware for my defunct mp3/4 player I purchased for Christmas gift. WOW! Didn't know what to look out for, yikes.

I've used the Dead Player Guide to restore The only numbers I can find on anything inside the player is 29F8G08MAA which concludes no firmware yet available.

I used the the file EL-SIPN_mp4001c.fw and it failed. Then I found and tried another bin file from megaupload and go this message from upgrade tool "TJD_918_BKS_ST7732.bin 2008-01-02 10:04 V9.1.52 Success." Now I have the ability to see the player from explorer, but now my screen is black after flashing blue momentarily from the on switch.

While I have been registering here and typing this message, now the player is making a sound like it's shorting out (I turned it off).

Where do I go from here? I've already begun a dialogue with the seller and luckily paid through paypal my $47 (it was FREE shipping from Hong Kong!)

Thanks for all this help and information.
