Hi cvc7chris,
Good to hear you're making progress.
Running a paper clip along the contacts is a technique used by the "Dead Player Recovery Guide" which can be found here --> "
DEAD PLAYER RECOVERY GUIDE.
If the memory has been hacked and you have only 2GB and not the advertised memory that you original bought, you should ask for a PARTIAL REFUND with PayPal. File a dispute and ask for a partial refund with the seller. This has been a common agreement with other members in the past who have bought hacked players.
