1GB chip but mp3 utilities only sees 128MB
 

Hi all,

My mother in law purchased some generic chinese players and i need help geting them to work correctly. I cant return them, the packaging stated 4 gb, but when i pulled apart the player and checked the chip it was a hynx 1gb chip. the mp3 utilities only sees 128mb is this a firmware problem, is so, this is a rockchip player (i believe)....urgghhhh what can i do.

Please help what can i do?

This image is exactly what i have: http://www.mympxplayer.org/-apm383.html.

wintermute1001 , what is the Hynix serial number printed on it? If i'm not wrong, it should be a 1Gigabit (128MegaByte) chip, as 1MB = 8bits.

Also, your player is an Actions based chipset player. Rockchip players can't be detected by MP3 Utilities as it is made specifically for Actions chipsets.

I bought a MP4 Player, model I-Nickel, with 2GB memory from Uxcell.
After I putted some musics on player, it became having problems.
Then, I did a Format using MP3 Utilities Disk and it show that my player had only 108MB.
So, I opened my Player and at the Samsung chip had a sticker indicating 2GB!. I discredited and removed the sticker. Then, I put the code was marked on chip and putted on Memory Density program!
Surprise! Program show the chip have 2GB!
So, what I do?
Is Samsung from memory hacking mafia too?

The serial number on that chip is most probably faked. But UXcell are reputable sellers, so you should ask for a replacement, i think they will honor it. ;)
