Everything else was working fine, except I get no audio in the left side in either rockbox or the original firmware. I uninstalled rockbox and I still get no left side audio (tried different headphones too). I did notice that when I installed (and uninstalled) the bootloader the usb connection screen on the player was stuck saying "writing", I waited forever during the install but it never went away so I stopped it using the xp "safely remove hardware" icon in the tray. What should I do?
