[solved] My Mp4 player randomly inverted/mirrored the screen. Any suggestions?

Hi all,

While I went for my walk today, I noticed my mp4 player kept giving me that hourglass screen... eventually it just froze but reset itself to invert the colors and flip the screen!

This is my player:

This happened out of sheer randomness. Im not trying to upgrade firmware or anyhting, but anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Heh, just reset the damned thing and now we're back in business!

Thanks Ruge for the update.
Can you tell us how you reset your player? It is just the normal 'reset' button on the side of the player? I don't have this player so not sure where the reset button is.

On the back of my Mp4 player I have 2 small holes (like the hole in the front of a DVD drive on the PC). One is for the mic and one is a reset switch. I used a paperclip to hold it down (while it was on), and it switched off. I turn it back on and my player went back to normal.
