Dead 4GB Full Metal Platinum 1.8

[RangerXML]

I bought 3 Full Metal Platinums (1x Pink 1.8 for Mom for her birthday, one Silver 1.5 for a friend and 1x Black 1.8 for myself). My mom's and my friends arrived a week before mine and I was quite impressed, heck of alot faster then my Glacier. Besides my friends iTunes MP4 video trouble (other thread) there was no trouble until mine arrived.

I got mine and started to play with it right out the box, I noticed it had a different appearence and it was slower then the one my mom got and sure enough the fimware was differnet. I did the low level format from the memory hack thread and formatted it to FAT32, still could see 1.89GB and all was well. Thats when trouble started, I disconnected it and then later reconnected it after I had a nice collection of MP3s together. It frooze on the hourglass and did nothing from there. I unpluged it and powered it off, when I restarted it all that was there was a greyscreen and thats where its been ever since. Help!

I'm emailing backa and forth with UXCell and there telling me to upgrade the frimware, but the PC will not see the MP3 player.
