Broken IHP-140 ?
unkle:
Thanks for your replies.
I was in a plane, listening to music, and then it just stopped... There was some remaining display on the screen (completely fixed, all buttons were useless). Looking at it the next day, screen was blank. I tried to recharge it, but apart from the green light, nothing...
I never changed the battery, and it is more than 4 years old now I think.... Is there any way I can check that without buying a new battery ? I'd definitely buy a new one if this is it.

by the way when I say residual display, it was really random fixed pixels...
petur:
did you reset it at that point of just leave it like that?
If you just left it, it probably drained the battery completely.
possibilities:
- really flat battery: charge longer
- drained battery now dead: replace battery
- crash caused by hardware malfunction: player borked
I'm sure Linus will correct me if I'm wrong ;)

I am almost ready to buy the idea of that the battery is weird, moreover it seems to me (when I open the player) that the cables are strange (from unit to battery), I would no be surprised if the was an open here....
So I'll check for a new battery and guide on the web. If you have any recommendations.... ::)

Very strange...
I opened the player, repaired (weld) the battery cable, and now the player seems in a better but far from perfect shape...
Green light (charge) is blinking, and from time to time, the player is booting directly in iriver's firmware. Nothing I can do while it is on, and it then goes off, suddenly. I guess it is not completely fried, so I will let it charge for the night, and try more stuff tomorrow.
I am very surprised to not get a chance in booting Rockbox. Would you guys have a suggestion here ? Is it over for the player ?
