My player looks exactly like yours, except no camera.
A couple of suggestions:
First thought: My wife dropped hers into the car door frame. It went completely white with no turn off or control at all. I let it completly discharge. When I recharged it, it came up--working properly.

Second thoughts: I have bought 5 or 6 of different players which seemed to have mostly similar firmware. See my posts under 'Support and How to' >> 'How to remove hack' -- see the last page of posts.

Overwriting the memory has never seemed to affect the firmware, at least not on my units. I overwrote all of them when
I tested with h2testw.exe (free). I could not redo the memories on my Vista machine, because it would not see the players to re-partition them (though it did re-format them).

One free program 'Active Partition Manager' did work on 3 of my units.
Download the free version at - -http://pcdisk.com/download.html – also download the PDF file.
Do this at your own risk….If your unit is bricked, nothing to lose----
Caution: The next steps will remove all files and directories from the memory (not the firmware)

Plug in your player and run Partition Manager Free. Hopefully it will see your player. Delete the Main Partition. Resize the Unallocated Partition to about 1.8GB for your player.
Reformat with Partition Manager or regular computer Format. The player
might format when you turn it on and off.

If you need the memory directories, I have them.
