iRiver h340 Broken DC 5v Jack

(1/2) > >>

Thrillhouse:
Unfortunately I recently bought an iRiver h340 over the net which has a busted dc input jack, so it will only charge from usb, not the wall charger.  It looks like the yellow casing surrounding the center nub is split, and the center nub has been pushed back a bit.

Here is a picture


Sorry, it's a bit blurry, but it's the best I could get, and if you look, you can see what I'm trying to explain.

I would really really like to be able to charge from the charger as it is MUCH faster and you can play and charge at the same time.

Is it possible to fix this?  Can/will I have to buy another piece from an electronics store and replace it?  Thanks in advance.

gevaerts:
I can't help you fix the jack, but you can charge over USB while still playing. Just hold the record button while pluging in (this may start a recording if you take too long, but you can stop that...)

Thrillhouse:
This is at least a step in the right direction.  I'm assuming I need to have the player on first?  Edit:  can you give me a step by step?  I've tried this a few times and I'm not sure if i'm doing it right.

LinusN:
If the player is off, hold Rec and insert the USB cable. This will start the original firmware, which in turn will charge, provided that the settings are correct.

petur:
or boot normally, hold rec, insert cable, release rec, press stop to leave recording mode.

(/me still votes to use hold for those things rather then rec)
