Is my player dead or not? What can i do? :(

Hi guys. Some months ago, my MP3 player did something strange. When I looked at it, i saw these 2 words : "Disk Error!" Okay, let`s format it! Done, no problem, as I had backup of my music. 1-2 months later again, Disk Error! Wtf, let`s format again. Okay, no problem. I`ve putten my player away for 1-2 weeks in it`s box, and when I wanted to listen to some music, wtf, my player doesn`t boot up! Let`s format it. I didn`t have the luck this time, it`s still the same. The trick is that I didn`t modify anything, nor firmware, neither the hardware, so I`m now looking for the answer on the question :

What the heck is on with my player and how can I repair it?

Cheers,
