Thanks for your caring thought. I wish it was that easy. I'm still hoping it can be repaired but from what I've been able to work out it can only be the board. Thing is it still tries to boot but gets stuck. And it's gets red hot if you try to charge it right at the bit of the board that everyone says gets burned out.

There's a picture of my board on misticriver

I let the ipod go at £90. Silly money for refurbished. It may have to wait till after Christmas after all. :(

LambdaCalculus:
If you still really, really want to have a DAP that's supported by Rockbox, why not search for a Gigabeat F on eBay? They come a dime a dozen, and are very very easy on the budget. :)

daveky:
ahaha... As I have some more time to research (no major ebay panic) I've started to trawl the forums for more info. I've seen you recommend the gigabeat a lot. Are you on commission? :D How many mp3 players have you got? Did you ever get an h320 to play with (ie Roadster's)? (See. I HAVE been reading...)

I just looked; there are none. Boo hiss.

Another ipod just went for £85. darn. It's just too much. One more this evening though...

LambdaCalculus:
Don't I wish I were on commision? ;D In reality, I'm just another Rockbox user like you are, learning the ins and outs of this wonderful open source project.

My personal DAPs are my iPod, a Sansa c240 with a 1GB microSD card, and my Archos Jukebox Recorder. My girlfriend has her own H320. I'm going to end up with an iPod color after the holidays, so that'll make 4 DAPs.

I really want to get either a Gigabeat or iAUDIO X5, but the X5's are rare as hen's teeth, and holiday shopping prevented me from getting the Gigabeat I wanted. But there's always next year... :)

daveky:
Hmm, yes. Silly me. It says so in your signature. And I was about to ask which ipod you have too. Doh! I'm tired...

I think I'll stick with an ipod. Only because there are so many of them that the price should be less and ongoing rockbox support more readily available. Unless I can find a good h320, of course.

Oh no! I'm turning into a DAP geek. You mentioned your girlfriend but my attention was peaked by her working h320...  :P ;) :-[ (sometimes just one 'ckle man just isn't enough, is it?)

Thanks for the timely help and chat. I'm off to restore the balance by watching Die Hard...
