Oh wow! I can't believe my MP4 is working again! I thought I would have to buy some electronic parts! Yesterday I was using my MP4 when I dropped it 50cm onto the hard plastic of a electric power board (you know the ones which allow you to plug in 4+ electric devices at the same powerpoint?)Anyway this caused things to go haywire. The splash screen would load up and the pictures wouldn't. I couldn't even play videos cuz the pictures wouldn't load. So i tried opening it and looking around. Actually i made it worse when both connections of the speaker and the red connection of the battery disconnected.

That's ok, ill solder it.
I hadn't soldered much b4, just once. And i managed to solder the wires again. So i was back to my original problem. I decided to copy stuff from my backup of firmware fortunately which i learnt from these forums a few months ago otherwise i'd be dead, but had to delete everything from the hidden partition first. Strangely the BMP0.bin file refused to delete (error corrupt file or something). So i formatted the partition, copied my backup and OMG! I can't believe it works again!! Even after poking around inside the circuits just a firmware replacement worked!!! Hopefully anyone who might have problems might find this helpful

at least i learnt that i can actually solder and discovered what my mp4 player looked like inside.
