i need help.. system error 00000001
AlexP:
Sorry, I did read your first post I promise - I just forgot! ;)
What was the rating of the charger you used - Voltage, Current, and polarity?
HawkSlayer:
lol thats fine...
uhm the charger says
INPUT: 100-120V - 30W 50/60Hz
OUTPUT DC: 9V 2.2A
AlexP:
There's your problem, the Gigabeat is a 5V centre positive input, not 9V.
Unfortunately you may have fried something. On IRC, gigabeat hardware god is toffe, markun and I think jhMikeS may also be able to help, but I'm afraid I suspect by putting too high a voltage into it you may have fried a chip in there.
HawkSlayer:
damnit that sucks. i can't afford to buy a new mp3 player. bah goddamnit i'm stupid.
is there anyway to replace the chip or w/e?
AlexP:
I don't know - it isn't 100% certain that something is fried, it just has to be a strong candidate as the player has stopped working after supplying the wrong voltage.
I know very little indeed about Gigabeat internals - I'd ask on IRC as some of the guys there have much more knowledge than me. You never know, let's hope I am wrong!
Sorry about that, I know how rubbish it is - I dropped my old H140 and broke the hard drive. I managed to get a new one, but it was an expensive error.
There were many incidences of this with the iRiver H100 series, as a Nokia charger fitted them but fried them.
