I did not suggest that you get a tsop--techer did. I have fixed my player to a true 1.65GB memory. My brother is 600 miles away, and he is afraid to fix his because it is complicated and he does not want to ‘brick’ his player. I bought 4 or 5 players (one like yours) and fixed them all. They are somewhat different from each other.
You do not have to mess with the Firmware to fix them. It appears to me that the memory management chip is the hacked part. If you do not overfill the true size, you
do not have problems. Reformatting fixes the corrupted files, but be sure to copy your
directories first and re install them. Full battery discharge, then recharge seems to reset some balky players.
I do not recommend this unless all else is exhausted –but--You can repartition the primary partition to it’s true size (run h2testw for size), and then reformat the memory without affecting the Firmware.
One free program can do this and see the USB player----http://pcdisk.com/download.html
Download the .pdf file also. I do not know how to put Word Docs here, but I can send you some files I made while fighting the Players, if you give me your email address.
Windows purposely does not partition USB drives. Free Puppy Linux, which can be run from a disk, can also see the USB drives, partition and format.
