Storage capacities

Just bought a supposedly 4GB MP4 play via MP3_exp from Hong Kong and on checking inside I find the memory to be Samsung coded K9LAG08U0M. Have tried Samsung site but can find no info on this code. I want to know true capacity to check whether or not I have been had. Checks on Windows XP Home say 4GB but I understand from this site that that might not be a true figure. Can anyone help?

Gitus , according to the Samsung datasheet, the K9LAG08U0M is a 2GigaByte memory chip.
You might want to format your player to remove the memory hack.

Many Thanks for your answer Surf. Can you direct me to a copy of the Samsung Data sheet?

Gitus , the link to the datasheet is Here.
You'll need Adobe to open it.

:shock: Thanks Surf. But I am still confused for the data sheet shows the code AG as 16GB. Doin my head in. Any way informed seller of my findings and he offerred refund of £5. He can stick it! I will research the average difference of cost between 2/4GB and ddmand that in full. Thanks again

Gitus , "AG" is the memory density stands for 16Giga (16x10^9), the next 2 numbers "08" stands for 8-bits, so together they mean 16Gigabits. Divide it by 8 (1Byte=8bits), and you'll get 2GigaBytes.
Definitely demand for the extra that you paid for the 4GB over a 2GB model. Good Luck.

I owe you Surf. Understand now. this is my last reply to MR MP3_exp

Thank you for your email but if wish me to refrain from taking steps to recover my money from Visa then the only deal that I would accept is a refund of GBP £16 less GBP £5 for your original postage cost making a total refund of GBP £11, and in doing this I believe that I am being generous. Why? because you attempted to defraud me by knowingly sending me a hacked 2gb MP3 player instead of the 4GB one that I successfully bid and paid for in good faith. You have betrayed that good faith and I will not allow myself to be cheated.

sure it's 4gb capacity, u can see the space room if u receive it,thanks! /*

I now know full well that if I returned the existing one (which has a bad battery and therefore I believe that it is not new) I will only receive a Hacked 2GB one again. So half of my payment for half of the item delivered is what you will receive. If I have not heard from with confirmation of my offer in early course then I will proceed as originally notified to you in my email attached below

hope it gees him up

best wishes to you and yours Surf
