Loading Forever

[thejeswi.nk]

After a good day of listening to my music I turned my mp4 player off, then the next day I turn it on and as usual the hour-glass appears... I thought that "Its Not supposed to take so long", so just leave it there and go to school and come back 6 hours later the hour-glass is still there!! Its still loading!! Damn my second mp4 player also is not working. My first was RIP last week because a wrong firmware upgrade. Now this one just bought yesterday just stoped working.
I tried many things:
1. Connected it to my computer
2. Charged it
3. Restarted it
4. Kept it on till all the power in its battery got over and charged
The computer did not recoginse my mp4 player and say unrecognised USB device.. And It shows nothing but the hour-glass..
Then I connect the earphones, it suddenly restarted and showed the main menu.. I was so happy for 5mins, as I was listening to so Hip Hop it restarted and the loading forever happend again, tried everything again,
attached the earphone and dettached it for a million times!!!
And it does not work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Have Mercy!!!!!! :cry:
Somebody please help!
Oh yeah, My MP4 player is a 4gb (not fake 4gb, it stays as 4gb even after the formatting) iPod clone.... I have a backup of the firmware, I can upload it you want me to.

thejeswi.nk , when you formatted it, was it using MP3 Utilities Disk Tools or Windows Format?

If your player wasn't hacked, there are only two reasons i can think of. Would either be poor firmware coding, or a hardware problem.

Either way it is quite difficult to fix the problems mentioned above, and i'll suggest that you contact your seller for an exchange as it should be still under warranty.

Thanks for the quick reply lattesurf.
I formatted my player with mp3 utilities, and found out that it was not hacked...
And I didnt get a warranty ...
Do you have any other suggestions?

thejeswi.nk , what i can only think of is to do a visual inspection of the chip solderings and see if any has gone loose or broken off. You might need a strong magnifying glass for that.
