i got a sumvision kpac 2gb mp4 for xmas. the earphone socket was dodgy so i sent it back. they sent me a new one it has the same problem. i cant take it apart and fix it because its a completely sealed unit. it has no screws or clips or anything.

Please help :cry:

geostar,

Can you send us a photo of your player?
I've found with my player, the screw holes are actually hidden underneath the stickers. Look under all the stickers to see if you can find anything.

If it was put together it can be taken apart, only unless it is totally sealed in epoxy resin

Sorry Geostar,

But your pictures are non too clear, may I suggest you take some pictures from the Website or listing where you got your player from?

Then post them on here, and perhaps some member may be able to help you.

But I can't make out any clear details on the pictures you have provided. :roll:

geostar , this looks tricky. But it seems that there should a front and back casing that is held together by clips.

Like my T29, there isin't any screws, so what i did was to use a fine blade and gently pry between the front and back casing. Did this until i found a point where there is tension. That would be where the clips are located.

The tricky part is to undo the clips. You could easily scratch the player doing so. But having a scratched player is better than having a sound-less player.
