FM doesn't work, files corrupted with unknown characters

[Obzdadon]

Hey, all.

I recently bought a 4GB MP4 player from the eBay seller: johnnymagasin for a reasonably cheap price of £16. Since receiving the item, I have come across several problems. First of all, the headphones supplied did not work at all. I reported this fault to the seller, and was sent a replacement.

Secondly, the FM Radio failed to work. The seller asked me to format the MP4 player in order to overcome this problem, so I did with no luck. The seller then offered to send me a free gift to make up for this fault, which I have still not received. On top of that, ANY files that are put onto the MP4 player become corrupt and can not be accessed, not even when I put them back onto my PC. Files are moved from folder to folder, and some of the files I put on aren't even there.

Also, file names are automatically changed to unknown characters. The storage information is also displayed incorrectly. Like, when 600MB worth of files are on the MP4 player, 2GB of space is being used up. The seller told me to try using less storage. I asked if he could replace my MP4 Player and he said he doesn't replace MP4 Players
Is there anyone that can help me overcome any of these problems..

Here is my player:
>>eBay: 4GB MP3 Player <<

Thanks, in advance!

Obzdadon , obvious signs of hacked memory. i'll suggest that you format your player, guide here http://www.mympxplayer.org/how-to-re...ck-vt2400.html

Once formatted with MP3 Utilities Disk Tool, and the memory capacity drops, file a paypal claim immediately.

Hi,
i need your help, i would like to put a skin on my mp4 player, By looking at the link for the ebay page i have given above, can you find out my version?
Also, My Mp4 player turned out to be 1.89GB
I have asked for a refund or a replacement, now i am waiting for a reply

I'd say keep it if it's really 2 gigs (1.89GB operable capacity). It's pretty good for that price.

Yeh, i suppose it s good, but why did he lie to me. The radio doesnt work either, i formatted it plenty of time but still no luck.Should i tell the seller about the memory hack i found on it?
Also is there any mods for fw 9.0.50?

Obzdadon , he lied because of money, to cheat your money by selling you a 2GB player at the price of 4GB.

What error message do you get when you try to use the FM radio?

At the moment, it is not possible to safely theme a v9.0.50 firmware. The firmware extractor S1fwx only supports upto v9.0.43 currently. Without your extracted firmware, it is extremely risky to download someone else's themed firmware, even if it is the same exact version to flash into your player. Most cases you would end up with a bricked player.

It shows the message 'Hard Error'
I read on another post that the board could be blown, it hasnt been working since i first bought it.

Obzdadon,

The FM might not work because of either a blown board of the FM chip isn't installed in your player. For the FM function to work, it needs a FM chip on the chip board. So he would have lied to you about that as well.

If you say your player has never worked since getting it, I would strongly suggest you get a replacement (if it doesn't cost you too much). It should be covered under warranty or you should get a refund for it at least.

What are you waiting for guy file a paypal claim. He cheated you out of money for a product that is known to be usually hacked with less GB size than advertised. File a claim with pay pal and leave him bad feedback on ebay.

The seller has sent me a message saying 'send it back and i will either give you a replacement or a refund'. But i am not sure if i should because he might keep the mp4 player and not give me a new one. What should i do?
