Default The mystery of the 8GB chip. MAYBE A REAL 8GB PLAYER? help!

Click the image to open in full size.


Hi people

Lazy dumb-ass here.

I didn't do any research about buying mp3 players on E-bay before scattering my very hard earned money to the 4 winds.

Now here I am.

Ok, you all ready know how that story ends.

My item was an 8Gb nano clone.

I posted a photo of it in the albums on this site:

http://www.mympxplayer.org/image-full-asp618.html

I tried uploading 8gb of mp3's to my player when I first got it - that didn't work.

I pulled the player apart, found the chips, ran a search on the flash, and here is what I found:

FLASH: HYNIX - HY27UT088G2A TPCB

SMALLER CHIP: AK1025 8A015AB 0C3

BOARD: XY126V1

When I complete the very well written guides on this site, the size the computer finds my flash to be is 986mb.

What do you think the truth is?

I am brand new to this and am totaly lost.

If any body thinks they know what my player's real capacity may be, and how to fix it. (blue screened after the first 4 hours) then please let me know.

Oh, and if you know what firm ware I need to end my days of fruitless searching, I would be forever in your debt.

Thank you in advance
