Sansa Fuze V2 Startup Issues

Might there be a problem with the new bootloader and some fm-chips? Or alternatively a lot of radiochips are failing.
Can someone suggest a way to investigate further?

Patch an old bootloader (or even just an unmodified sandisk firmware) and see if the radio starts working again.
Nichlas:
Thanks for the idea.
Tried an old sansa firmware, and the radio refuses to work.
So it seems as if the FM-chip has gone bad for me and several others.
Maybe others with the freeze problem can test and see if there radio works in OF?
And if others have the same problem, maybee there is a way to make rockbox boot without the radio?

You can probably disable initializing the FM radio by commenting out the line "#define CONFIG_TUNER (SI4700|RDA5802)" and maybe the line with "SRC_CAP_FMRADIO" in firmware/export/config/config-fuzev2.h. No idea if that'll actually fix the startup problem though.
Nichlas:
thanks, will set up a new build enviroment and try next weekend.
Happy new year in advance!
I now have my own working build of rockbox.
I used the trick the guy mc2739 did in his bug report.
Seems like rockbox cant handle a bum fm-chip.
Thanks for the help and support!

Could you possibly upload this build? I'm having the same issue.
