Hello Koala121,
I finally got some time and the nerve to reformat my RockChip, chip #RK2608, using NTFS (suggested by another member.) Up till now I had been content to use it with the music, that resided on it for the time being, anxious not to do more harm than good.
But I can now report though that the MP3 flash memory size is a little less than 8GB, NOT the falsely claimed 16GB, which was stamped on the back case. So my MP3 WAS hacked! Actually I reformatted once more using Fat32 tonight, so that files finally read properly.
Only problem now is that the earphone jack seems to be screwy, in terms of a tinny sound, where the vocals sound like they’re off a mile away, but the instrumentation is still present. Guess I’ve got to take it apart now and check the jack contacts. It plays fine on it’s own speaker or through a pc using a USB connection. Can’t seem to win with this one. Maybe I can still at least use it as a photo album.
BTW I reported the seller to eBay yesterday regarding the hack, but of course the listing is expired, and it's been about ten months. So the offender is probably selling under a new alias, or maybe he was selling these things unwittingly all along till someone complained. Belated thanks for your advice.
Regards,
Tom
