Rockbox General > Rockbox General Discussion
Quick! Advise me before the ebay auction ends!
daveky:
Whoohoo. That's what I wanted to hear.
I'm getting all excited now. I'm having a bit of a pre-auction end heart-flutter. My head is saying. "Stay away, it's refurbished!" and "Wait till after Christmas, they'll be cheaper." But what the heck, eh?
Your advice will still stand then I take it? These ipod things keep changing all the time! ;D
LambdaCalculus:
As long as it's not the new iPod Classic (which has an aluminum front and metal backing), and it's most certainly a video (black or white plastic front and metal back), then Rockbox awaits! :)
What are you going to do with your iriver in the meantime?
daveky:
@LambdaCalculus379: stop mentioning my iriver! I begin to cry. Oh, there I go... sniff. I got quite attached. Only had it two years.
On charging it got hot. Screen did not got to "charging". Got stuck on boot half way through rockbox with a whirring and clicking disk. Thought it was a ballooning battery but it shows no signs (I was getting 8+ hours from 17mAh).
The PCB shows slight signs of burning. So it looks like it fried. but I DIDN'T put in the wrong charger. I am really miffed. I've taken advice and read all the forums on misticriver but there does not seem to be a solution.
As a second hand h320's are going on ebay from £80-£180 (yeah, I know!) I started looking at anything else that will run the beloved rockbox.
daveky:
10 mins left. £55 delivered. What's should be my top limit then...? Decisions, decisions. (There are are three or four due in the next couple of hours too.)
LambdaCalculus:
daveky: I only asked about your iriver to see if maybe it would've been a simple fix that we could've easily guided you though. But a burnt board? Either sell it for parts or send it off to be recycled, and make a bid on the iPod!
