iriver H320 + 32GB CF-Card + 2200mAh Battery - some problems

(1/4) > >>

hello,

i have an iriver h320. when i bought it, i had to change the battery because the old one was almost dead. so i bought a certified 2200mAh Cameron Sino batt. it worked. then i had to change the hold switch (the knob on the outside). done. strangely, after that i noticed that the display was slightly flickering while disk access... plus, i discovered a low rumbling noise, e.g. when i changed volume or when the player was loading data into the buffer while playing music... i also heard it when i was recording and data was written to disk. and i always thought the battery doesnt last as long as expected. after a few months not unsing the player, i tried to switch it on but it didnt work. i sent it to the iriver service to get it all repaired. THEY said, the battery is defective and wanted to have 50€ for repair. i decided to change the batt by myself. plus, i replaced the 20GB HD with a 32GB cf card. the noise was gone, but anway, the display is still flikcering a bit and i heard that rumbling noise again yesterday when i was listening to the radio and changed volume or browsed the menus/files...

one more strange thing: the WPS wont update (shows song 1, although song 2 is playing) sometimes.. sometimes it does, sometimes not... strange, isnt it!? i have to click "nav" (go to file browser) and then play again to go to the wps to update it.

does anybody hav an idea what might be wrong with the player.
or can someone check his own player about the rumbling noises?

thanks
oliver

soap:
Did you buy both the first "certified" 2200mAh battery, and whatever you replaced it with from the same source?

I hope you did because I'd sure like to blame the problem on a shady battery salesman (there are SO many counterfit CS batteries out there...) but I'm suspicious you have a power-related issue somewhere not so easy to replace...

bought the first battery from licketysplitauctions on ebay...

edit: may there be a possibility to send the player to someone from this
forum who can take a look at it?

polluxx2006:
can anybody with a h320 please chek if theres noise from adjusting volume in radio mode?

dreamlayers:
What headphones are you using?  Highly efficient headphones will make electrical noise from the player more audible.  The difference can be huge; a device may seem to have no noise with some headphones and far too much noise with others.

(I use Creative Labs EP-630 headphones.  They're good headphones, but many devices including my 5G iPod and Archos v2 recorder have too much electrical noise.  Because of that, I put an in-line volume control between the device and headphones.)

If your h320 is actually defective, my guess is that a power supply isn't regulating voltage properly.  That could be because the battery has excessive internal resistance or because of a defect in the circuit.
