Chipset & firmware differences (S7x variants...?)

[scatwell]

In my search for firmware for my Glacier clone (2" screen, 1GB (after I removed memory hack), I'm getting confused. My player's original firmware was for ACU7515_S75 (player settings described it as 2006/01/29 9.1.51 ACU7515_S75 2006/10/21). The player stopped working (Had hourglass but would not boot) so I decided (retrospectively maybe wrong decision) to replace firmware with one downloaded from Uxcell. And, along with 000's of others I have a semi-dead player
After lots of trial & error I found a firmware (2006/09/12 9.0.48 ACT2097_S75 2006/06/12) which at least gives some screen activity (flickering text & some "random"patterns, but no photo or video.)Navigation is rather blind but functions seem to work.

Now, my question: Is it a coincidence that there is _S75 after the chip numbers in both the original & the "best I have found so far" firmware versions? Should I be looking just for ACU7515_S75 or is ACU7515 alone likely to be ok?

A member of this forum had access to some 9.1.51 firmware packs but advised me that the one which looked to be for _S75 had been superceded by one which had just ACU7515 (which did not work). This has confused me as I was under impression that _S7x after a chip number indicated a different version & therefore a different firmware. I've asked him to let me have the previous version but he tells me its been superceded by the version he sent (which looked to be a ACU7515 without the _S75).

Can anyone help/enlighten me on this so I can keep searching for this elusive firmware as efficiently as possible?

Thanks

Your LCD controller is incompatible with driver in firmware.

Actions does not provide solutions with 2" screen.

Suggest to use driver for screen provided by Uxcell.
