ipod nano 3rd Gen styled fake

I have one of these too, let me know if you figure it out.

And, if one more person tells me to try USB 1.1 ports, I think i'll find the nearest USB 1.1 port and shove it up their nose.

I have one of these cheap players. I didn't need anything exotic and I knew it wasn't an IPOD, just want to play mp3's nothing more. It always acted funny and would act like it had a lot less memory and I formatted the drive a few times that didn't solve anything but didn't hurt anything either. But initially it at least played a couple of mp3's and I will take that much which is why I bought it, to download a Radio program I listen to and then play it not at the computer. Now it downloads a file fine and displays just like it should the full time, plays for 10 seconds and stops. Is this a firmware problem? If so is there a way of overwriting the firmware to nothing special just the firmware that came with it?

Thanks for your help,
Barry

AK2025 FW ver 9.5.54 Disk Error

That contains a fix for something Bulldurham had explained in his first few posts....I just had to repartition and reformat my mp4 player to make it work correctly. If you need help, I remember EXACTLY what I did, and I can tell you step for step, even though I believe it's well explained in the link above.

Because I didn't explain myself about Bulldurham's post, let me say that this regards removing the memory hack and formatting your mp4 player to its true size. Mine reads 1906mb of free space, and it was supposed to be an 8gb! It works beautifully now, but I'm negotiating a refund with my seller, whose ebay id is yf-tech.

I hope this can help someone, and I hope I placed it in the appropriate spot!

P.S. One of the three chipods we ordered stopped working entirely. It won't power on, it won't charge, the computer doesn't detect it whether or not the power switch is on. I don't know what to do about it, as I can't seem to get the damn thing apart! I'll try to post a picture of the players we ordered...not too sure how to do that just yet.

This is EXACTLY what my wife's player looks like. Mine is green, my sister's was blue. My sister's gave out on us. It's the one that won't power up at all.
