I-Nickle Problem

[RufusP]

I recently recieved a I-nickle from UXcell and I am having some problems with it.

The first one was they sent me a usb cable that was nearly cut in half, I emailed them and they claim they will send one asap but still no order confirmation from them. Hopefully they will actully send one, they said they would send a shipping confirmation when they shippied it, that was 5 days ago and I haven't heard a thing from them. I borrowed a usb cable from a friend to test it to see if it works and it does but now I have run into another problem. The stupid thing won't let me have more then 2 folder on it. I can put on as many as I like but only two will show up on the player. It will also only allow 2 sub-folders with in a folder. It's really a pain in the ass with only 2 folders you can't organize anything.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

The order # is ORD20070813081.

RufusP , i'll recommend a format on your player with MP3 Utilities, guide here http://www.mympxplayer.org/how-to-re...ck-vt2400.html

After the format, see if the folder problem still persists.

Thanks for the help, it worked I can have as many folders as I wan't now. But now i'm stuck with only 103mb on a 2gb player, I didn't even think to check that the memory was hacked as I though Uxcell was a reputable seller. Now it looks like im going to have to spend more money on this piece of crap to send it back to hong kong, this is a bunch of bs. I guess I will have to try and contact uxcell again and see what they have to say.

RufusP , do contact uxcell, i'm sure they would sort this matter out for you.

[RufusP]

I contacted them and all they are giving me is the run around. They claim there is nothing wrong with it. It's just either a formating or firmware problem :roll:. They told me to format it again, which did nothing. Then to try all of the firmwares listed on thier site. Which again did nothing, still stuck at 103mb. Big suprise there, I guess im going to have to pay to send it back, which is a bunch of bs. They try and scam me and now I have to pay more money. Im never going to do business with these people again, don't know why you people support them on your site. A quick look back through the forums and I can tell im not the only one uxcell has done this to.

[RufusP]

I have had it with these damn chinese scammers. I don't know why this site keeps supporting them, it gives people the impression that they are a good reliable company. This is the bullshit they sent me now, apperently "shipping" is what causes the players to be hacked so 128mb of flash memory turns into 2gb.

Dear customer,

We are sorry that happened, The item was examined strictly by our QC before we

I asked them what there theory on that one was and how "transit" hacked my player. I sent them links to a couple of others that have recieved hacked players and asked them if transit hacked theirs as well but they pretty much shut up about the whole thing.

I asked them about the whole "transit" hacking scheme and if they figured the Hong Kong post was opening packages de-soldering the larger chips and then soldering in 128mb chips in there place, hacking them to display the marked size on the player then sealing the paper lunch sacks they ship them in back up and sending them to the US. They will not confirm or deny this theory either.

I sent them proof many times that this is a hacked player, verified that the chip is a 128mb hynix/samsung not the 2gb I paid for and sent proof of that as well and they still deny they had anything to do with it. They still want me to pay $20 to ship this piece of crap back and that is not going to happen. I said it before and I will say it again I don't think a company that acts like this should have advertisments and a section on this forum. It gives people the idea that it is a great place to buy from and you don't have to worry about getting scammed. Thats what I thought and it is defenitly not the case.

Hi RufusP,

Did you open up your player?

Quick question, was always 103MB or only after formatting it?

[RufusP]

I haven't opened the player, I didn't want them to say I screwed it up by opening it. I used S1clone to verify that the player only has 128mb of memory.

The player did not always have 103mb, before formating it displayed the correct 2gb. The problem was 2 folders would only be displayed, I was also getting errors saying that files were not in the correct format and would not play. When coppied back to my hard drive they were corrupt, it would not let me delete things from the drive either. The only way to get them off was to do a complete format. Movies would not play correctly either as they were larger then the size on the drive they would play partialy then the player would freeze. This was completely fixed after formating and the memory reverted back to it's pre-hacked size.
