Re: New help
 

Are you saying that you want to hard wire a new chip inside of your box, or are trying to purchase an sd or micro sd card, and install it?

Eitherway, I think the main way you'd get nand cards is via a reseller with quintuple mark up, so it' be really expensive to get just one.

well i want a nand :P that all i know i dont really know what kind is in the ipod right now :/ sd or no sd i know that its a (8gbit) = 1 Gb inside right now and i want a (32gbit) = 4gb that i can put just beside it its an extra spot for one and what i need is to find a seller....

isnt there any way i can get one cheap? where do they use this stuff ? in what things ? maby i can take it out somthing old i have.. and dose it really have to be nand flash?

and this works on a mp3 player how should i weld it ? do i have to crack it open or somthing?

If you've never done this before, you have a HIGH likliness of messing everything up!

Be careful about it, but what you would need is solder, and a soldering iron. Especially with little bitty technology, you'd want to be careful, as it's a horribly delicate operation.

Unless it's the simple matter of removing, and replacing a chip, which, based on the technicality of the link you provided, seems to be evident.

well i have that shit and my friend will weld it, he can weld really good haha:P, he knows how but still i want to know how am i supposed to weld it should i open the chip u send me and take it out and the weld ? or what i dont understand :P

Not sure, really, the only way I can think to try, is to just get the cheapest one possible, and sacrifice it for the sake of testing.

See, the link that's on the uncyclopedia site is a hack for putting a hard drive up to it, not replacing the chip.

REPLACING would either mean cutting, and resoldering, which would be exceedingly difficult, or simply pulling out a chip, and sliding in a new one in it's place, which is more likely NOT going to be right.

This sounds like a horribly complicated project that really wouldn't be worth your time or effort, in my opinion.

the thing is that it has an empty space just beside it so i can just try to put it in there?

and why i want to do this is becouse 1 gb is to little for me -.-

Really gratefull for the help :D

Can you take a picture of what you have, and post it?

wekiller , it really depends on the processor chip. Some chipsets supports upto 4GB, some maybe more or less. So if you happen to have a chipset which supports lesser, adding an additional memory chip would not increase your capacity. It might even cause problems for your player.

However, most flash based players use Nand Flash memories. There is a good guide on the soldering process at the S1mp3 wiki here http://wiki.s1mp3.org/How_to_add/change_a_memory_chip
