Is it true that if you drop an mp3 player with the rockbox on it, will it void the warranty, because the issue that i was having before with rockbox i dropped it, and it gave me problems when i would turn it on it would flash and sometimes it would turn on with no screen and at times it will have a white screen with nothing booting up, but i notice that when it gets the least amount of impact it would turn the mp3 player on, but before i dropped it i had two programs that were on my Iaudio X5L, i had the original Iaudio Jetshell program and i had the rockbox, ever since i havent seen the original jetshell program, that was on it, when i turned the mp3 player on, i like the rockbox program, and i got the solder joints fixed but im thinking that it may be just a program issue from the amount of impact, and the solder joint that was disconnected was reconnected it was soldered right over the previous solder joint....but my main question is rockbox known for giving these DEFECTS to a Mp3 player?

No.

Chronon:
What defects?  It sounds like you broke (and later repaired) some solder joints.  What does that have to do with Rockbox?

that is exactly what happened , with the solder joints but, i think the rockbox program is doing that, because it has a hard time turning on and it is flashing, when i got the solder joints resoldered back in i been noticing that it has been turning the mp3 player on more fluently, but my mp3 player still has a hard time playing the songs, and still has a hard time booting up, i dont think the mp3 player is broken because it still transfers the files really well, but im asking  if an mp3 player has dropped can rockbox be the problem or do i have to REFORMAT the drive altogether, im thinking of doing that, but i want to make sure that rockbox isnt the main problem thats why i am asking the question about it

Chronon:
Dropping your player and attendant solder breakage is a hardware issue.  I don't know why you think Rockbox has anything to do with that.  I don't think reformatting your drive will help much.  It sounds like you still have some bad connections on your board somewhere.
